By means of directional solidification and microalloying, a TiAl alloy with a fine and uniform microstructure and continuous columnar crystals was obtained. The microalloyed high Nb containing TiAl alloy exhibited better creep properties at high temperature and stress conditions.
The creep behavior of a directionally solidified TiAl alloy with a high Nb content after microalloying by the addition of small amounts of W, Cr, and B elements was investigated by scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy. By means of directional solidification and microalloying, a TiAl alloy with a fine and uniform microstructure and continuous columnar crystals was obtained. High-density dislocations, deformation nanotwins, and twin intersections were observed in gamma lamellae. The results show that, in comparison with the ternary TiAl alloy, the microalloyed high Nb containing TiAl alloy exhibited better creep properties at 760 degrees C and 275 MPa. The decrease in stacking fault energy can promote dislocation dissociation and the formation of deformation twins, and the twin intersections can hinder the movement of dislocation to enhance the creep performance of the TiAl alloy.
