Abstract

Phase transformation during heating in homogenized Ti-22Al-(27-x)Nb-xZr (x = 0, 1, 6) alloys is monitored by dilatometry, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and detailed metallographic examination. Moreover, the dissolution of α2 into the B2/β matrix is investigated and discussed. In Ti-22Al-27Nb alloy, the sequence of phase transformation during heating can be concluded as follows: B2/β → O, B2/β + α2 → O, B2/β + O→B2/β + O + α2, B2/β + O + α2 → B2/β + α2, and B2/β + α2 → B2/β. For Ti-22Al-21Nb-6Zr alloy, it is B2/β → α2 + O, O + α2 + B2/β → B2/β + α2, and then α2 dissolves into B2 matrix. There are considerable shifts in the maxima of the transformation rates in B2/β + O+α2 → B2/β + α2 and B2/β + α2 → B2/β transformed region to the higher temperatures with increasing x value. In the stage of B2/β + α2 → B2/β, there is a deceleration of reduction in α2 phase with increasing temperature for Ti-22Al-(27-x)Nb-xZr (x = 0, 1, 6) alloys. And for Ti-22Al-21Nb-6Zr, the dissolution rate of α2 phase is accelerated.
