The study investigated the partitioning of Nb, Ta, and Zr in Ti-44Al-5X alloys and their influence on lattice parameters compared to a binary Ti-44Al alloy. Results show that the added elements affect lattice parameters and lattice misfits, ultimately influencing the creep properties of the alloys. The correlation between lattice misfits and primary creep strains suggests a potential method for optimizing the creep properties of titanium aluminides.
Previous investigations revealed that Nb, Ta, and Zr improve the creep properties of fully lamellar titanium aluminides significantly. The enhanced creep properties can originate from different potential effects of the alloying elements. Herein, the elements' partitioning between alpha(2)-Ti3Al and gamma-TiAl and their influence on the lattice parameters of ternary Ti-44Al-5X (X = Nb, Ta, Zr) alloys are investigated in comparison with a binary Ti-44Al alloy by atom probe tomography and high-energy X-ray diffraction. Ta partitions nearly equally between alpha(2) and gamma, Nb accumulates slightly in gamma, and Zr enriches strongly in gamma. As all alloying elements have a larger radius than Ti, a stronger partitioning to gamma decreases the lattice misfit more. The synchrotron measurements show a clear influence of the alloying elements on the lattice parameters and resulting lattice misfits in gamma-⟨110] and gamma-⟨101 ] direction as well as the c/a ratio. In accordance with theoretical calculations based on the partitioning behavior, the lattice misfit decreases from Ti-44Al-5Ta over Ti-44Al-5Nb to Ti-44Al-5Zr. The c/a ratio decreases from Ti-44Al-5Nb over Ti-44Al-5Ta to Ti-44Al-5Zr. A correlation between the measured lattice misfits of the ternary Ti-44Al-5X with their primary creep strains is found, as the primary creep strain decreases with decreasing lattice misfit.
