Two-phase {gamma}-tail alloys such as PM Ti-47Al-2Cr-2Nb or Ti-47Al- 2Cr-1Nb-Ta hot extruded above the {alpha}-transus temperature have unique refined-colony/ultrafine lamellar structures. These lamellar microstructures consist of very fine laths of the {gamma} and {alpha}{sub 2} phases, with average interlamellar spacings of 100 nm and {alpha}{sub 2}-{alpha}{sub 2} spacings of 200 nm, and are dominated by {gamma}/{alpha}{sub 2} interfaces. This ultrafine lamellar structure remains stable during 900 C heat treatment for 2 h, but becomes unstable after 4 h at 982 C.

Description
Two-phase {gamma}-tail alloys such as PM Ti-47Al-2Cr-2Nb or Ti-47Al- 2Cr-1Nb-Ta hot extruded above the {alpha}-transus temperature have unique refined-colony/ultrafine lamellar structures. These lamellar microstructures consist of very fine laths of the {gamma} and {alpha}{sub 2} phases, with average interlamellar spacings of 100 nm and {alpha}{sub 2}-{alpha}{sub 2} spacings of 200 nm, and are dominated by {gamma}/{alpha}{sub 2} interfaces. This ultrafine lamellar structure remains stable during 900 C heat treatment for 2 h, but becomes unstable after 4 h at 982 C. This structure remains stable in both alloys after aging for >5000 h at 800 C but disappears completely at 1000 C. Continuous coarsening begins with dissolution of fine {alpha}{sub 2} lamellea. The aged Ta-modified alloy shows similar lamellar coarsening behavior within the colonies but has more discontinuous coarsening of the intercolony {gamma} with new precipitation of coarse {alpha}{sub 2} and {beta} phase particles. Analytical electron microscopy show that changes in {alpha}{sub 2} phase composition correlate with microstructural instability.
