Abstract The rapid-solidified Ti-5Al-4Sn-2Zr-1Mo-0.25Si-1Nd (Ti-55) high temperature alloy heat-treated 5h at 980℃ has been studied by TEM. The results show that the distribution of the RE-rich second phase particles is bimodel, the amount of the smaller particles (20─80 nm in diameter) is considerably larger than that of the large particles (200─300nm in diameter). Based on a diffusion-controlled growth kinetics equation, the formation mechanism of the bimodel distribution of the RE-rich second phase particles in the alloy is explained by using the disturbing theory.
