Abstract

In the present paper, the necessity of strictly controlling Al content is demonstrated for Ti-45Al-8.5Nb-0.2B-0.2W alloy by analyzing solidification microstructure, compressive properties at room temperature and α phase transformation point of alloys containing 43-47at.%Al. The results show that the alloy has an optimal combination of mechanical properties and microstructure. Increasing Al content leads to increase in lamellar colony size and decrease in B2 phase for the solidification microstructure. Yield strength decreases linearly with Al content, but total strain increases linearly with Al content. The phase transformation temperature of β + αα rises more than 20 °C when Al increases to 46at. %, and drops about 20 °C when Al decreases to 44at %. Therefore, Al deviation should be as small as possible in producing technical alloy to ensure the stability in terms of properties, microstructure and processing route.
