Abstract

A comparative study of the microstructure, compressive properties, and fractography of Ti3Al and Ti3Al–Nb intermetallics produced via powder metallurgy and standard vacuum melting and casting processes has been carried out. Non-porous compacts were obtained via vacuum hot pressing of powders produced by mechanical alloying. Prior to compression tests, all samples were homogenized by a solution treatment at 1050°C (α + β region), followed by water quenching. The compression tests were performed from room temperature to 500°C in vacuum at a strain rate of 2.4 × 10–3s–1. Detailed microstructural characterization was conducted using scanning electron microscopy, followed by energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction analysis. Values of compressive mechanical properties of compacts were higher than those of castings. Fracture topography was examined by scanning electron microscopy. A correlation between ductility and the fracture mode exists for all materials.
