Abstract
A method based on initiation of dynamic recrystallization (DRX) during hot working has been developed to produce a submicrocrystalline (SMC) structure (d < 1 µm) in massive work-pieces of hard-to-deform materials, like titanium aluminides, The method involves continuous grain refinement due to dynamic recrystallization at a decreasing temperature. A microstructure with a grain size of 0.1 to 0.4 µm and no porosity was produced in different TiAl and Ti3Al based alloys. Partial disordering was detected in a Ti3Al alloy with the SMC structure. The grain refinement hardened the intermetallic alloys at room temperature (RT). In a fully ordered Ti3Al alloy RT ductility increased when the grain size decreased, while the ductility of a partially disordered SMC Ti3Al and TiAl alloys was close to zero.
