Abstract

Rapidly solidified Ti alloys containing rare earth metal dispersoids, such as La or Er, have excellent resistance to coarsening at elevated temperature (700–900°C). In particular, the coarsening of the dispersoid particles in RSP Ti-5Sn-3Y was studied; these particles were found to be Y5Sn3. The measured growth kinetics were found to be compatible with the modified LSW model; it was concluded from the observed parameters that in this alloy the diffusion rate of Y is the rate determining factor, providing a measurement of the diffusion coefficient of Y in a Ti matrix and yielding its activation energy Q = 272 kJ/mole.
