Designing Gamma Tial Alloys (K5 Based) for Use at 840 C and Above

By: Nasa, National Aeronautics and Space Adm

The objective of this program was to investigate how carbon additions and Al content variation affects RT tensile properties and creep performance in gamma TiAl alloys. On the basis of the results from the work four alloys were selected within the composition range of Ti-(44.7-47.0) Al-(1.0-1.7)Cr-3.0Nb-0.2W-0.2B-(0.23-0.43)C-(0, 0.2)Si. Through extensive annealing/aging experiments, detailed observations of microstructure evolution, property measurements and analyses, comprehensive understanding was made in the carbide formation process. It was found that creep properties depend on the distribution of carbide particles, which is controlled not only by the aging process but also the amount ratio fo Al and carbon. From the results and analysis, new creep-resistant alloy compositions are suggested for further development.Kim, Young-Won and Kim, Sang-LanGlenn Research CenterCARBON; TENSILE PROPERTIES; CREEP STRENGTH; MICROSTRUCTURE; CREEP PROPERTIES; ANNEALING
