摘要
This paper supplies new quantitative data on the global kinetics of the alpha -> alpha(2) + gamma transformation and the alpha(2) + gamma lamellar microstructures produced through continuous cooling from the a domain as applied to the representative near-gamma TiAl-based alloy Ti-48 at.% Al-2% Cr-2% Nb. The evolution of alpha-transformed volume fraction during cooling is followed by dilatometry. A novel method based on the combination of electron back-scattered diffraction (EBSD) and image analysis is presented to measure the distribution of true (3D) lamella widths supplied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) observation of 2D surfaces of the samples treated. The transformation start and finishing temperatures, the lamellar-grain size, the alpha(2) phase volume fraction, the width of the alpha(2) lamellae and the inter-alpha(2) lamellar spacing are supplied for various durations of isothermal treatment in the a domain and over a wide range of cooling rates. Quantitative relations between these kinetics, structural and thermal parameters have been established and are discussed. (C) 2008 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
