Precipitate evolution in Ti-5Al-5Mo-5V-3Cr-0.3Fe wt.% (Ti-5553) has been studied in-situ by small angle neutron scattering (SANS) during a two step ageing heat treatment of 300 degrees C/8h+500 degrees C/2 h. The first heat treatment step precipitates omega, with a corresponding increase in hardness of similar to 15% compared to quenched material. The second heat treatment step precipitates fine scale alpha from the omega phase, with a similar to 90% increase in hardness compared to quenched material.The SANS measurements are complemented by atom probe tomography (APT) to give compositional information, ex-situ transmission electron microscopy (TEM) to confirm phase identification and size distribution locally, and X-ray diffraction (XRD) for additional confirmation of phase identification.The omega phase is depleted in all the solute additions following 300 degrees C/8 h ageing heat treatment. The volume fraction of the omega phase from APT is estimated to be similar to 7%. SANS modelling is consistent with disc shaped particles for the omega phase. The mean particle diameter increases from similar to 7.5 nm to 9.5 nm diameter between 1 h and 8 h heat treatment at 300 degrees C, while the thickness increases from similar to 4 nm to similar to 5 nm. The SANS model estimates the volume fraction to be similar to 10% for the 8 h heat treatment, using the phase compositions from APT. (C) 2015 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
