Description:
Phase transformation during heating in homogenized Ti-22Al-(27- x )Nb- x Zr ( x = 0, 1, 6) alloys is monitored by dilatometry, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and detailed metallographic examination. Moreover, the dissolution of α 2 into the B 2 /β matrix is investigated and discussed. In Ti-22Al-27Nb alloy, the sequence of phase transformation during heating can be concluded as follows: B 2 /β → O, B 2 /β + α 2 → O, B 2 /β + O→ B 2 /β + O + α 2 , B 2 /β + O + α 2 → B 2 /β + α 2 , and B 2 /β + α 2 → B 2 /β. For Ti-22Al-21Nb-6Zr alloy, it is B 2 /β → α 2 + O, O + α 2 + B 2 /β → B 2 /β + α2, and then α 2 dissolves into B 2 matrix. There are considerable shifts in the maxima of the transformation rates in B 2 /β + O+α 2 → B 2 /β + α 2 and B 2 /β + α 2 → B 2 /β transformed region to the higher temperatures with increasing x value. In the stage of B 2 /β + α 2 → B 2 /β, there is a deceleration of reduction in α 2 phase with increasing temperature for Ti-22Al-(27- x )Nb- x Zr ( x = 0, 1, 6) alloys. And for Ti-22Al-21Nb-6Zr, the dissolution rate of α 2 phase is accelerated.
