An Atomistic Study of Ti Segregation to Lamellar Interfaces in Ti-RICH TiAl
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 10 February 2011
Abstract
In this paper we analyze the effect of the surplus of titanium in the bulk on γ/γ interfaces. Monte Carlo calculations using a central force many-body potential suggest that in Ti rich alloys titanium segregates to the 120° rotational fault and the pseudotwin. This leads to the formation of a thin region of the DO19 Ti3Al at these interfaces. While titanium does not segregate to the ordered twin, it does to the ordered twin with the APB. But in this case the interface dissociates into the 120° rotational fault and the pseudotwin. The calculations further show that there are two types of atomic sites at the interfaces. One is the same as in the ideal L10 the other, to which the segregation takes place, is specific for interfaces parallel to {111} planes. The specific distribution of the sites favored for segregation is the reason why segregation leads to the formation of a narrow region of the DO19 Ti3Al in the 120° rotational fault and the pseudotwin.
