通过研究TiAl合金中不同Al含量和不同β相稳定元素含量的变化,分析了Al含量和β相稳定元素对TiAl合金初生相选择与凝固特征的影响.结果表明, 单一β相凝固的TiAl基合金含Al量低, 结晶温度范围窄, 凝固组织均匀细化.采用背散射法(BSE)观察并分析了不同过冷度下铸造TiAl基合金非平衡凝固的枝晶形貌,运用经典竞争形核理论研究了Ti48Al2Cr2Nb (原子分数, %)包晶合金非平衡凝固中β相与α相的形核与过冷度的关系,并计算了Ti48Al2Cr2Nb合金深过冷凝固中的β相(bcc)和α相(hcp)的临界形核功及稳态形核率,结果表明, 在约15 K/s的冷速下, Ti48Al2Cr2Nb合金在所能达到的过冷度(≤370 K)范围内凝固时,β相始终为领先相优先形核. 以过包晶凝固的TiAl基合金, 其Al含量高,结晶温度范围窄, 凝固枝晶细小, 趋向逐层凝固, 可减少并消除糊状凝固所造成的疏松和热裂趋势.β相稳定元素对凝固路径的影响取决于其Al当量,并可使TiAl合金的凝固路径从过包晶凝固转变为亚包晶凝固;过多的Al含量将导致铸造TiAl合金凝固组织中存在过多γ相,从而影响合金的强度和塑性.

The Al content and the β stabilizers in TiAl base alloys were investigated,which have an important effect on the solidification characteristics and phase selection.TiAl base alloys with single β-solidifying have the characteristics of low Al content and narrow crystallization temperature range. It is attributed to forming a homogeneous fine-grained microstructure. Dendrite morphology in TiAl base alloys is investigated by SEM-BSE in the nonequilibrium solidification conditions. The relationships between undercooling and nucleation of two phases are investigated systematically by using the classical nucleation theory in the undercooled Ti48Al2Cr2Nb (atomic fraction, %) peritectic alloy. By calculating the interfacial critical nucleation work and steady state nucleation rates of β phase (bcc) and α phase (hcp), it is obtained that β phase is always prior to nucleate from the Ti48Al2Cr2Nb undercooled melts at the cooling rate about 15 K/s in the achieved undercooling range. Due to narrow crystallization temperature range, microstructures of TiAl base alloys with high Al content as the hyper-peritectic solidification path take on the gradual solidification style and finer dendrite morphology. It is conducive to reducing and eliminating shrinkage porosity and hot cracking caused by mushy solidification. The β stabilizers have an important effect on solidification path depending on its Al equivalent and will change the solidification path of TiAl alloy from hyper--peritectic solidification to hypo-peritectic solidification. The overmuch Al content in TiAl base alloys leads to the formation of large number of massive γ phase impacting on strength and ductility of alloys.
