Abstract
It is shown that a uniform and refined fully lamellar microstructure can be generated by tempering the quenched samples in the single α region of as-forged Ti–43Al–9V–Y alloy. The refining effect was mainly connected with the quenched microstructures especially for their substructure, grain size and the residual β particles after the quenching. A series of β-decomposed products: martensite plate, massive α and coarsened α lath with increasing grain size were produced due to the decreasing cooling rate during the wedge-shaped sample quenched into iced brine. In addition, the decomposition of β directly to γ has also been observed during the quenching with different cooling rate. The lamellar colony size can be controlled in the range of 25–50 μm after tempering.
