摘要
In this study, nanometer-scaled lamellar microstructures were adjusted in Ti-45Al-7.5Nb-(0; 0.5C) alloys (in at.%) and analyzed by means of transmission electron microscopy. Different annealing temperatures subsequent to quenching were used to obtain well-defined lamellar microstructures with ultrafine widths of a few tens of nanometers to a few nanometers. Surprisingly, the hardness of these alloys is enhanced by increasing the volume fraction of gamma-TiAl laths. This behavior is different from the results reported in literature and can be explained by the occurrence of a size effect. The nanometer-size gamma laths became harder than the of alpha(2)-Ti3Al laths which are 10 times wider. (c) 2008 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
