Abstract

γ-TiAl alloys composed of Ti-45Al-5Nb-1W-1B (at.%) solidified at three different cooling rates by vacuum electromagnetic induction melting under a controlled degree of vacuum of under 2 Pa. The influence of the cooling rate on the microstructure and mechanical properties of the γ-TiAl alloy samples was investigated. A relatively large temperature gradient at the beginning of solidification led to a thin fine-grained layer around the graphite mold, and undercooling had two main effects: (a) promoting nucleation in the grain-refining surface layer and (b) promoting the growth of columnar crystals beneath the surface. Moreover, all prepared ingots of this alloy could be clearly divided into Regions S, M and C from the surface to the core. The colony size of Region M was larger than those of the other two regions due to composition segregation and the growth of columnar grains. The existence of tungsten led to micro-inhomogeneity, and the mechanical properties of the alloy changed according to concentration fluctuations. The degrees of homogeneity were expressed as H0.1 and H0.2. The alloy with the highest values, which possesses the best mechanical properties, solidified at a relatively low cooling rate. The deformation mechanism is also discussed.
