摘要
The influence of a range of different continuous cooling rates from the alpha phase field has been investigated in large-grain-sized (similar to 1500 mu m) Ti48Al2Cr2Nb and in grain-refined Ti48Al2Cr2Nb1B alloys. In addition the microstructure of direct laser-fabricated samples of Ti48Al2Nb2Mn has been examined in order to assess the influence of the complex heating cycle and high cooling rate on this alloy. It has been found that the critical cooling rates to obtain a particular structure are higher in grain-refined Ti48Al2Cr2Nb1B than in the alloy without boron (B). The increase in the amount of the lamellar structure during cooling takes place in different manners in the two alloys. The formation of the lamellar structure in laser-treated samples has been found to be very different with the formation of Al-rich gamma regions separating regions with a lamellar structure. The possible factors affecting phase transformations are discussed in terms of the role of grain boundaries and B in solution in the solid state transformations and, in the case of the laser-treated samples, of melting and remelting.
