Abstract

A study has been conducted to determine the cyclic and static thermal stability of Ti-44Al-11Nb alloy in air in a range of temperature from 900 to 1000 °C. Weight gain method shows that the static oxidation rates are higher than cyclic oxidation rates under identical experimental conditions at a given temperature. The oxide layer at the surface penetrates the base metal in a direction parallel to the lamellae of the two phases, α2 and γ, confirmed by scanning electron micrographs. The thermal stability of up to 168 hours indicates that there are phase transformations taking placed affecting the microstructures in such a way that large amount of dislocation activities are involved.
