Effects of Dislocation Density and Concentration of Vacancies on Growth of O-Phase in Ti2AlNb-Based Alloy

  • Published:
Metal Science and Heat Treatment Aims and scope

The effects of the dislocation density and of the concentration of vacancies in the β-solid solution on the processes of aging of intermetallic titanium alloy VTI-4 yielding a Ti2AlNb orthorhombic O-phase are studied. It is shown that the influence of the nonequilibrium concentration of vacancies in the solid solution is decisive for acceleration of the diffusion process and abrupt growth of the sizes of the O-phase. Preliminary deformation is shown to have a favorable effect on the deceleration of growth of the O-phase under subsequent aging.
