The fine τ 1/γ active eutectoid nodules precipitated at α grain boundary and interior during water quenching. The active eutectoid microstructure evolved from sheaf-like, granular to bulky net-like sluggish eutectoid morphology gradually with the decrease in quenching/holding temperatures. The active eutectoid reaction occurs from 1220 to 1290 ℃, while the beginning temperature of sluggish eutectoid locates at 1305 ± 5 ℃. The combination of the intact τ_(1) phase and immature nano-sized γ laths suggests a short incubation period of τ_(1) phase in the active type. Furtherly, the semiquantitative estimation shows that the growth velocity of active eutectoid is about ninety times higher than sluggish type. In addition, a representative feature of γ phase abruptly ripening along {111} crystallographic plane was also observed in the active eutectoid.展开更多

In the current work, as-cast Ti-6.5Al-2Zr-Mo-V alloy was hydrogenated with different hydrogen contents and processed solution aging. Accordingly, the microstructure evolution and phase transformation were analyzed. Results show that during solution aging, eutectoid decomposition occurs and the product is a mixture of coarse primaryα, fine eutectoid product and undecomposed βH. The size of primary α is closely dependent on the hydrogen content, and large primary α can be obtained at medium hydrogen content. Further, the influence of hydrogen content on the growth of primary α phase was revealed. The primary α is much fine, and the eutectoid product is relatively homo- geneous with 0.984 wt% H. After THT, the ultimate strength is beyond 1,100 MPa that has increased by 23.15% compared with that in as-cast state.展开更多
