Abstract

The high temperature titanium alloy with rare earth element Nd addition was prepared by rapidly solidified powder metallurgy (RS-PM) processing. The microstructure of RS-PM high temperature titanium alloy has been investigated systemically. Microstructure study showed that the α' martensite phase in the RS powders initially decomposed at 700 ℃ and vastly at 900 ℃during the hot isostatic pressing (HIP) process. The decomposition products were equiaxed or lamellar α phase as well as grain boundary β phase. The microstructure of the specimen HIPed at the temperature in (α+β) phase field contained equiaxed α phase, lamellar α phase and β phase. The size of equiaxed α phase increased while the aspect ratio of the lamellar α phase decreased when the HIP temperature increased. The microstructure of the specimen HIPed at the temperature in β phase field contained coarsed lamellar α phase, grain boundary α phase and β phase. The microstructure became finer with decreasing the powder particle size. The microstructure of the sample HIPed in the (α+β) phase field and then heat treated in the (α+β) phase field was bi-modal microstructure containing equiaxed α phase and β transformed structure. The microstructure of the sample HIPed in the β phase field and then heat treated in the (α+β) phase field was ternary microstructure containing equiaxed α phase, lamellar α phase and β transformed structure. The microstructure of the sample HIPed in the (α+β) phase field or β phase field and then heat treated in the β phase field was basket-weave structure. The proportion of rich-Nd phases increased with increasing the Nd content,resulting in the reduction of original β grain size.
