Abstract

For the powder metallurgical production of Ti-Al alloys, elemental powder blends and prealloyed powders were mechanically alloyed in a planetary ball mill. Thereby metastable solid solutions or amorphous phases are formed depending on the overall composition and the milling conditions. The crystalline phases exhibit an extremely small crystallite size of about 10 - 30 nm. This favors the consolidation of the powders which was performed by hot isostatic pressing in the temperature range between 500 °C and 800 °C. The results show that fully dense Ti-48 at.% Al alloys can be obtained only for a temperature of 800 °C. The crystallite sizes increase during compaction, but remain below about 0.15 µm. This allows the preparation of test specimens to investigate the mechanical properties of Ti-Al alloys with submicron crystallite sizes.
