Experimental Studies and Thermodynamic Simulation of Phase Transformations in γ-TiAl Based Alloys
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 26 February 2011
Abstract
Phase transformations and phase transition temperatures in several Nb-rich γ-TiAl based alloys were investigated experimentally and compared to thermodynamic simulations. The present study combines light-optical and scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction and differential-scanning-calorimetry for the characterization of the prevailing phases and phase transformations. Thermodynamic simulation based on the CALPHAD method was used for predict phase stabilities. The results from experiments on a variety of γ-TiAl based alloys are compared to thermodynamic calculations. Finally, the influence of carbon on the transition temperatures is presented.
