Abstract

TiAl binary intermetallics were aluminized in a vacuum system in order to improve their oxidation resistance. From the observations of optical microscopy and EPMA line scan, several different reaction layers were observed to be formed on respective substrates: pure Ti, Ti-32at.%Al, Ti-50at.%Al. From the results of the X-ray diffraction, the primary reaction layers were identified as TiAl3 structure in these three substrates This reacted layer grows with preferred orientation having [002] axis of TiAl3 perpendicular to the substrate surface from XRD experiments. High temperature oxidation tests revealed that vacuum aluminized layer was responsible for remarkable improvement on the oxidation resistance.
