Effect of Thermal Exposure on Microstructure of Ti-25V-15Cr-2Al-0.2C Alloy
Abstract:
The effect of thermal exposure on microstructure of non burning β titanium alloy Ti 25V 15Cr 2Al 0 2C was investigated The results show that after exposure at 540 ℃ (expectant application temperature of the alloy) for 100 h, a continuous α film is formed at β grain boundaries and a low degree of short range ordering (SRO) of the β matrix and α precipitation occurs In addition, a small amount of intermetallic compound TiCr 2 was also produced by a slow eutectoid reaction during long term exposure
