Microstructural stability of a cast intermetallic Ti-45.2Al-2W-0.6Si-0.7B (at.%) alloy after ageing in the temperature range from 973 to 1073 K up to 10,000 It was studied. The microstructure of the alloy consists of lamellar and TiAl-rich regions. Lamellar regions consist of fine lamellae of gamma(TiAl) and alpha(2)(Ti3Al) phases, fine B2 and Ti5Si3 precipitates on the lamellar interfaces. Fine alpha(2) lamellae are partially decomposed before ageing. Small volume fraction of coarse B2 particles and few ribbon-like borides were found within lamellar regions. TiAl-rich regions contain coarse alpha(2) lamellae, rod-like B2 particles, small volume fraction of coarse Ti5Si3 precipitates and ribbon-like borides. The as-received microstructure of the alloy is unstable during long-term ageing at temperatures ranging from 973 to 1073 K. The alpha(2) phase in the lamellar and TiAl-rich regions transforms to the gamma phase and fine needle-like B2 precipitates. The microstructural instabilities lead to softening of the alloy. The microhardness decrease is measured to be faster in the lamellar regions compared to that in the TiAl-rich regions. (C) 2006 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
