Abstract

In this paper, the γ(TiAl) sheets were prepared using Ti and Al foils by cold rolling and diffusion annealing, followed by hot isostatic pressing. Heat treatment was carried out at 1250 °C and 1280 °C and a holding time of 12 h. X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and high-resolution TEM were employed to analyze the microstructure and phase composition of the obtained material. The results revealed that the alloy mainly consisted of α2(Ti3Al) and γ(TiAl) phases. The residual α2(Ti3Al) was found in the grains, and the γ(TiAl) phase formed the matrix structure. A calculation of the mismatch degree revealed that the presence of α2(Ti3Al) could strengthen the matrix. After heat treatment at 1280 °C for 12 h, the degree of mismatch between the α2(Ti3Al) and γ(TiAl) phases was smaller, and the TiAl alloy with a high content of the γ(TiAl) phase was easier to prepare. The orientation relationship between the γ(TiAl) and α2(Ti3Al) phases after heat treatment at different temperatures was examined. After heat treatment at 1280 °C for 12 h, Ti3Al and the TiAl matrix exhibited a preferential orientation relationship.
