The influences of Al contents on the high temperature strength and ambient ductility of cast high Nb containing TiAl alloys were investigated with 7%Nb (mole fraction) addition and Al contents varying from 46%-49%. The macro- and micro-structures were examined. Due to the Nb solid solution strengthening effect, the cast alloy with lowest Al content consisting of a refined lamellar microstructure in equiaxed macro-grains exhibits excellent strength at 900℃ that is comparable with the well developed wrought alloys. The alloys with Al contents higher than 47% contains mostly or fully lamellar colonies with little orientation differences in macro-columnar crystals. Probably because of the lamellar structures with orientation hard to deform and the twining reinforcement, those alloys exhibit the more preponderant strength at 900℃ that can be as high as 595 MPa in the alloy with 47.5%Al. While, the effect of Al contents on ambient ductility becomes reversed as the Hard-to deform lamellar structures present very poor plastic elongation after tensile fractures.
