摘要
Solid state phase transformation characteristics of the body centred beta(Ti) into the hexagonal closed packed alpha(Ti) in Ti45Al8Nb-(0, 0.3, 0.5 and 0.8 at. pct) B alloys were investigated by heat treatment to clarify gamma/alpha(2) lamellar microstructure refinement induced by B addition. Experimental results confirmed two kinds of boron-reduced grain refinement mechanisms through refining either beta phase then alpha phase (beta-refinement) or alpha phase directly (alpha-refinement) to refine lamellar microstructure at room temperature; however, the role of alpha-refinement dominated the as-cast lamellar microstructure refinement over beta-refinement in Ti45Al8NbxB alloy. It was also found that during the alpha-refinement the convoluted flake- and plate-like borides along beta grain boundaries assisted nucleation of alpha phase, and the particle-like borides near beta grain boundaries impeded alpha phase growth.
