Abstract

Ti–49Al (at.%) alloy was directionally solidified in Bridgman-type directional solidification furnace. The specimens were directionally solidified under an argon atmosphere with the different growth rate (V=5–30 μm/s) at a constant temperature gradient (G=12.1 K/mm), and with the different temperature gradient (G=2.8–12.1 K/mm) at a constant growth rate (V=10 μm/s). The dendritic spacings (λ 1) were measured from both transverse and longitudinal sections of the specimens. The dependence of λ 1 on the growth rate (V) and temperature gradient (G) were determined by using linear regression analysis. According to the experimental results, the value of λ 1 decreases with the increase of values of V and G. The experimental results were compared with the current theoretical and numerical models, and similar previous experimental results.
