Abstract
Ostwald ripening of precipitates in rapidly solidified Ti-5Al-2Si (wt.%) has been studied by TEM. Results show that particle coarsening at 700 and 800°C is controlled by volume diffusion. Diffusion coefficients of Si in α-Ti were found to be ∼7.5 × 10−13 cm2/sec at 700°C and ∼1.2 × 10−11 cm2/sec at 800°C. At these temperatures, microstructural refinement due to rapid quenching had no noticeable effect on the coarsening mechanism for the RS Ti-5Al-2Si alloy.
