Abstract

Previous work has shown that ternary Ti-Al-Si alloys with hypoeutectic and eutectic microstructures containing the intermetallic phases Ti3 (Al,Si) and Ti5 (Si,Al)3 have promising high temperature mechanical properties [1]. In the present investigation alloying additions of Niobium have been made to selected Ti-Al-Si alloys based on hypoeutectic compositions and the effects of Niobium on the microstructure and mechanical properties have been studied. The high temperature creep and oxidation behaviour of such alloys appears to be superior to that of currently available Ti3Al-based alloys.
