Abstract
Ti-11Al alloys with C content up to 1. 5% (mass fraction) were prepared by melt-casting processing. Phase equilibria and TiC transformations were studied using optical and scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffractometry. As-solidified Ti-11Al alloy with 0. 5%C consists of α-Ti, α2-Ti33 Al and TiC, and with increasing C content, these phases change into α2-Ti3 Al, TiC and Ti 3 AlC, respectively. TiC is in equilibrium with β-Ti at 1 250 °C. However, Ti3 AlC is in equilibrium with α-Ti and α-Ti+α2-Ti3 Al when the alloys are heat treated at 1 050 °C and 750 °C respectively. TiC phase in as-solidified Ti-11Al-1. 5C alloy dissolves and precipitates as thin elongated Ti 3AlC plates after holding at 1 050 °C and 750 °C for a long time. Thin elongated Ti3 AlC plates precipitate along specific crystallographic orientation and are parallel to each other.
