摘要
Investigations were conducted on the gamma-TiAl-based alloy Ti-42Al-2.5Cr-1Nb-0.7Si-0.5B (at. %) to assess the influence of in situ and conventional post-weld heat treatment on the microstructure and microtexture transformations induced by laser beam welding. It was found that in situ post-weld heat treatment at 800 degrees C was important to inhibit weld seam cracking. EBSD and HEXRD results indicated that the welding zone mainly consisted of coarse alpha(2) "textured colonies". These textured alpha(2) are found to be in Burgers orientation relationship with their parent beta grains. After 1 h of conventional post-weld heat treatment at 1200 degrees C followed by furnace cooling, the textured colonies are refined. The alpha(2) grains nucleate heterogeneously on borides so that the sharp texture of the weld zone was broken down. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
