Abstract
The effects of Yttrium on the microstructure of Ti-23Al-25Nb alloy have been studied by OM, XRD, XRF, SEM, EPMA and TEM. The results show that the microstructure of two casting alloys is orthorhombic phase (O-phase). Yttrium has obviously refined the grain size of the alloy, where the Ti-23Al-25Nb grain size within a range of 400-600 μm, and the Ti-23Al-25Nb-0.36Y grain size, within a range of 40-100 μm, refined to about 6-8 times. By BSE and TEM, it is found that the Y2O3 lies in the interior of grains and along grain boundary in Ti-23Al-25Nb alloy. Base on the forming mechanism of O-phase and theory of grain refinement, the effects of Yttrium on the refinement process of O-phase have been analyzed.
