The effect of growth rates (V=2-50 μm·s-1) on microstructure and microhardness of directionally solidified Ti-44Al-5Nb-1.5Cr-1.5Zr-1Mo-0.1B (at.%) alloy at a constant temperature gradient (G=18 K·mm-1) was ...The effect of growth rates (V=2-50 μm·s-1) on microstructure and microhardness of directionally solidified Ti-44Al-5Nb-1.5Cr-1.5Zr-1Mo-0.1B (at.%) alloy at a constant temperature gradient (G=18 K·mm-1) was investigated. Results indicated that β phase was the primary phase of the directionally solidified Ti-44Al-5Nb-1.5Cr-1.5Zr-1Mo-0.1B alloy. As the growth rate increases, the solid/liquid interface turns from cellular growth to dendric growth. The interlamellar spacing (λs) decreases with the increase of growth rate according to the relationship of λs=3.39V -0.31. The solidification segregation occurs due to the enrichment of β-stabilizing element Nb, Cr in primary β phase during solidification;moreover, the degree of the segregation increases with the growth rate, resulting in the emergence of B2 phase in lamellar colonies at high growth rates. The microhardness (Hv) grows with the growth rate based on the equation of HV=328.69V 0.072, which mainly attributes to the microstructure refinement.展开更多
