The densification mechanism of Ti-20Al-19Nb alloys was elucidated by in situ observing the surface morphology of Ti/Al/Nb and Ti/TiH2/Al/Nb compacts upon heating. It was found that the densification of the alloy was strongly associated with phase transformations and the addition of TiH2. TiH2 participated in various reactions and reduced the presence of pores, leading to improved density and mechanical properties. This study provides a foundation for the cost-effective fabrication of high-strength Ti-Al alloys containing refractory elements.
Dense Ti-20Al-19Nb (at.%) alloys can be cost-effectively fabricated by TiH 2 -assisted pressureless sintering; nevertheless, the densification mechanism remains controversial without understanding the entire sintering process. By in situ observing the surface morphology of the Ti/Al/Nb and Ti/TiH 2 /Al/Nb compacts upon heating, the densification mechanism of the Ti-20Al-19Nb alloys was elucidated in this study. In addition to the reported reason that the dehydrogenation of TiH 2 provided reactive Ti, the densification of Ti-20Al-19Nb alloy was found to be strongly associated with the phase transformations upon sintering. The TiH 2 participated in the reverse eutectoid transformation, & alpha;-Ti + & delta;-TiH 2 & RARR; & beta;-Ti, inducing the & alpha;/ & beta; and TiH 2 / & beta; grain boundaries for the rapid diffusion of Al. The reaction of Ti(s) + Al(s) & RARR; TiAl 3 (s) was then accelerated, and the majority of the Al phase was consumed in the solid state, which significantly reduced the pores from the transient liquid Al. The activation energy of the Ti-Al reaction decreased with the addition of TiH 2 , and the growth mode of the TiAl 3 phase was changed. By removing the large pores at 700 & DEG;C, the Ti-Al intermetallic phases were well connected, forming the continuous interdiffusion route for Ti, Al, and Nb. The diffusion of Nb, as well as the phase transformation of & alpha;2 & RARR; B2, was then promoted, and the ripening time for the B2 phase was increased. As a result, the density and mechanical properties were improved. The initial results of this study provided a foundation for the cost-effective fabrication of high-strength Ti-Al alloys containing refractory elements. & COPY; 2023 Published by Elsevier Ltd on behalf of The editorial office of Journal of Materials Science & Technology.
