主题：Intermetallic Titanium Aluminides – Status of Research and Application

内容简介：Intermetallic TiAl alloys based on the -TiAl phase are already used as engineering lightweight high-temperature materials in aircraft and automotive engines. Thereby, they partly substitute the twice as heavy Ni-base superalloys. Present applications are, for example, blades in the low-pressure turbine of advanced aero-engines, turbine wheels for turbocharger systems of car diesel engines and engine parts used in racing cars.

Advanced TiAl alloys are complex multi-phase alloys which can be processed by ingot or powder metallurgy as well as precision casting methods. Each process leads to specific microstructures which can be altered and optimized by thermo-mechanical processing and/or subsequent heat-treatments. The background of all these heat-treatments is at least twofold, i.e. concurrent increase of ductility at room temperature and creep strength at elevated temperature. In order to achieve this goal, the knowledge of the occurring solidification processes and the following phase transformation sequences are essential. Therefore, thermodynamic calculations were conducted to predict the phase diagram of engineering TiAl alloys. After verification with experimental methods, e.g. short and long-term heat-treatments, differential scanning calorimetry and X-ray diffraction analysis, these phase diagrams provided the base for the development of smart heat-treatments. To account the influence of deformation and kinetic aspects sophisticated ex- and in-situ methods have been employed to investigate the evolution of the microstructure during thermo-mechanical processing and subsequent multiple heat-treatments. For example, in-situ high-energy X-ray diffraction was conducted to study dynamic recovery and recrystallization processes during hot-deformation tests. Due to the peculiar scattering behaviour of TiAl alloys neutron diffraction was also used for the investigation of order/disorder reactions. Summarizing all results a consistent picture regarding microstructure formation and its impact on mechanical properties in advanced TiAl alloys can be given. Finally, the development status and perspectives of these alloys as innovative automotive and aircraft engine materials are presented in the framework of this lecture.
