Abstract

The effect of severe plastic deformation applied through friction extrusion (FE) method on an Al-Ti composite billet is summarized. Formation of layered amorphous regions and specific atomic ratios (R) of Ti/Al, in addition to some crystalline Al-Ti intermetallic compounds (IMC), e.g., TiAl3 and TiAl forming et al./Ti interfaces, are noted after the deformation FE process. It seems that the amorphous regions form first and subsequently transform to corresponding Al-Ti IMCs. Semi-in situ heating demonstrated the thermal stability of such Al-Ti amorphous layered structures, with the phase transformation sequence being R = 1:3 (TiAl3, 250 °C) → R = 1:1 (TiAl, 400 °C) → R = 3:1 (Ti3Al, > 500 °C).
