Abstract: The optical observation results of neocrystallization nucleation and growth of fine fully-lamellar (FFL) α2/γ microstructure of a TiAl-based alloyin rapid heating cyclic heat treatment process were reported. The characteristics of α+γ→αtransformation under rapid heating conditions were analysed. A model for explaining the nucleation and growth mechanism of FFL α2/γ microstructure was proposed.
Key words: rapid heating; cyclic heat treatment; nucleation and growth; model; mechanism
