Abstract

The present paper describes phase stability of nitrogen-containing defects in Ti-64 and Ti-17, and the effect of nitrogen on the chemistry of the titanium nitride, αTi and βTi phases in these alloys. Ti-64 and Ti-17 were alloyed with nitrogen in a controlled manner by vacuum arc melting of alloying elements together with δTiN powder. Nitrogen was substituted for all elements proportionately using their compositions in atom per cent. Nitrogen concentrations of 18 and 7 at.% were investigated. Microstructural examinations and electron beam microprobe analysis of δTiN, αTi, and βTi within the Ti-64 and Ti-17 alloyed with nitrogen and heat treated at both 1300 °C and 1000 °C are described. The phase chemistries of αTi and βTi modified with nitrogen are compared with chemistries of the same phases without nitrogen. The addition of nitrogen to both Ti-64 and Ti-17 reduces the solubility of A1 in αTi to a degree that the concentration of A1 in αTi is less than that in βTi. Mo and Cr (in Ti-17) and V (in Ti-64) partitioning to βTi is also increased in both Ti-17 and Ti-64 modified with nitrogen. The degree of partitioning increases with increasing nitrogen concentration.
