Two-Phase Microstructures of Gamma+Gamma-Prime Formed by Phase-Separations due to Heat-Treatments of Elastically Constrained Ni-Al-Ti Alloys

Abstract

In the elastically constrained Ni-Al-Ti alloy system, three kinds of phase-separations, i.e. microstructure changes, take place to bring the two-phase state of γ+γ’ depending on the alloy compositions and heat treatments: 1) in Ni-8at%Al-6at%Ti, the phase-separation of γ phase takes place and γ’ particles appear in the γ matrix, 2) in Ni-13at%Al-9at%Ti, the phase-separation of γ’ intermetallic phase takes place and γ particles appear in the γ’ matrix, 3) in Ni-8.5at%Al-5.4at%Ti, the phase-separation of γ’ precipitate phase takes place and γ particles appear in the γ’ precipitate.
