Abstract
The microstructures of Ti 3 Al+lZr (α 2 Zr) and Ti 3 Al+Nb (α 2 +Nb) produced by ingot metallurgy (IM) and by rapid solidification (RS) are compared. Grain refinement was observed in both RS Ti 3 Al+Zr and RS Ti 3 Al+Nb alloys, and heat treatment of RS Ti 3 Al+Nb ribbons produced refined α 2 microstructures compared with those observed in the IM material. Ti 3 Al+Nb RS ribbons yielded good room temperature tensile strenth and elongation, and were successfully compacted by extrusion at 925°C (1700°F), resulting in a fine α 2 structure.
