During the processing of high Nb-containing TiAl (Nb-TiAl) alloys, the cooling rate at certain parts of the components can be very high, especially at thin parts. Moreover, annealing treatment must be applied to TiAl alloys to improve their mechanical properties. In this study, the phase transformation mechanisms in a quenched Ti-45Al-8.5 Nb-0.2 W-0.2 B-0.02 Y alloy during subsequent annealing were characterized using a scanning electron microscope (SEM) and a transmission electron microscope (TEM). The results show that β o, α 2, and massively transformed γ phases co-exist in the as-quenched microstructure. Some fine γ laths nucleated in the primary α 2 phase in the quenched samples. After annealing at 800° C for 1 h, numerous extremely fine γ laths precipitated in the bulk α 2 phase and could only be recognized using TEM imaging. The ω o particles at sizes of 0.5–1 μm precipitated in the retained β o phase and nearly consumed all of the β o areas. More interestingly, some coarsened γ grains in true-twin relationship were observed at the boundaries of the lamellar colony and β o (ω) regions. The orientation relationship between β o (ω) and coarsened γ was confirmed to be the following:[110] β//[11 2¯ 0] ω//[111] γ,(11 1¯) β//(0001) ω//(1 1¯ 0) γ. After annealing at 800° C for 100 h, the β o phase region transformed into small ω o particles and equiaxed γ grains and still followed the above-mentioned orientation relationship. The α 2 phase only existed as thin laths in the lamellar structures in a small volume fraction. These results indicate that the ω o phase is stable at 800° C. Possible mechanisms of these phase transformations are discussed.
