Abstract
Two Ni-modified Al3Ti alloys (Al65Ni10Ti25 and Al62Ni8Ti30) were rapidly solidified by melt spinning. The resulting microstructure was studied using light microscopy and analytical electron microscopy. Significant variations in the microstructure and phases were observed between the two ribbons and through the thickness of each ribbon.A single-phase γ-TiAl structure was seen near the wheel side of the Al62Ni8Ti30 ribbon, having microcrystalline grains ∼ 100 nm in diameter. Second-phase particles of Λ-AlNiTi were found in the remaining regions of that ribbon as the structure became columnar due to reduced rates of cooling. The Al65Ni10Ti25 alloy exhibited a primary phase of π-Al6.5 NiTi2.5. A second phase of μ-Al2NiTi formed with morphology and distribution varying through thickness. Microchemistry measurements on the phases indicated substantial deviations (up to 14 at. %) from the stoichiometric compositions. Further, the π, γ, and μ are low-temperature phases that do not form by solidification under equilibrium conditions. The observation of these phases thus suggests significant undercoolings achieved during the melt-spinning processing of the present alloys. Both ribbons are brittle as spun.
