Abstract

The paper presents an electron microscope study of phase transformation and recrystallization in an intermetallic α2(Ti3Al) + γ(TiAl) titanium aluminide alloy, after long-term creep. The mechanisms are closely related to the atomic structure of the α2/γ phase boundaries and are probably driven by a non-equilibrium of the phase composition leading to the dissolution of the α2 phase. The α2 /γ transformation is accompanied by the formation of precipitates, because the γ(TiAl)phase has a significantly lower solubility for interstitial impurities than the α2(Ti3Al) phase.
