Abstract

Titanium aluminide based alloys are candidate materials for high temperature structural applications. They are typically alloyed with elements such as Nb, Ta, Mo, Cr and B for property enhancement. To understand the relationship between microstructure and alloy composition/processing condition, detailed models of phase equilibria in multicomponent Ti-Al based alloys are needed. In this work, we developed thermodynamic models for the phases in the Ti-Al-Cr system based on critically assessed binary models and ternary experimental data in literature, using the CALPHAD approach. Isothermal sections at 1200, 1150, 1000 and 800°C, and the liquidus projection, were calculated from the currently developed thermodynamic models; these are in satisfactory agreement with experimental data. Isopleths were calculated at specified Cr concentrations, and solidification paths were simulated under the Scheil conditions for a range of Ti-Al-Cr alloys. From the calculated phase diagrams and solidification paths, the effect of Cr on the microstructure of Ti-Al alloys can be understood.
