Effect of Hydrogen on the Structure of Quenched Orthorhombic Titanium Aluminide-Based Alloy and Phase Transformations during Subsequent Heating

摘要

The effect of hydrogen on structure formation and changes in the volume fractions of phases in an alloy based on orthorhombic titanium aluminide (O phase) alloy upon its quenching is studied. X-ray diffraction analysis is used to determine the lattice parameters of phases. It has been shown that hydrogen is dissolved mainly in the _0 phase. Differential thermal analysis is used to determine stages and temperature ranges of phase transformations during heating; it was found that introduced hydrogen shifts the _0 O and reverse O _0 transformations into the low-temperature range; the enthalpies of transformation are calculated.
