Abstract
A new phase L12-Ti3Al was found in the Ti-46Al-6Nb alloy after rapid-cooling and then annealing at 850 °C for 5 h. The transformation kinetics involving the L12 phase were observed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM): The plate-like L12 phase precipitates in the massive γ (γm) phase and then partially transforms into α2 or B2 phase; the transformations of bulk α2 (αb) → L12/L12 → γ were also observed to form a fine lamellar structure with an average interlamellar spacing < 20 nm. The orientation relationships between γ, α2 and L12 phases were confirmed by TEM observation and crystallographic calculation, which are (001)γ // (001)L12, [010]γ // [010]L12, [100]γ // [100]L12 and (0001)α2 // {111}L12, 〈112¯0〉α2 // 〈11¯0〉L12. The L12 phase was also observed in Ti-the 47Al alloy after the quenching-annealing process. Thermodynamic analysis of the transformations indicates that the γ → L12 transformation is extremely susceptible to temperature changes while transformations between the α2 and L12 phases are not.
