Abstract

The effect of the heat treatment on the elimination of the β phase segregation in as-cast high Nb containing TiAl alloy on large scale was studied. The results show that the β phase segregation can be eliminated by holding appropriate time in the two phase region of α + γ. The β-segregation at the grain boundaries and crsegregation in lamellar colonies can be efficiently eliminated after 1250°C/24h + 900°C/30min/AC for the alloy samples; but after 1280°C/6h + 900°C/30min/AC, the volume fraction of β phase is very small and completely eliminated after holding 12 h at the cost of the average lamellar colony size coarse from 75 μm to 123 μm.
