(School of Materials Science and Engineering, Central South University, Changsha 410083, China)
Abstract: Through alloy sampling combined with diffusion triple technique, phase equilibria in Al-Ti-Zr ternary system at 1073 K were experimentally determined with electron probe microanalysis (EPMA). Experimental results show that there is a solid solution β(Ti,Zr) which dissolves Al up to 16.3% (mole fraction). Ti and Zr can substitute each other in most Ti-Al and Al-Zr binary intermediate phases to a certain degree while the maximum solubility of Zr in Ti3Al and TiAl reaches up to 17.9% and 4.0% (mole fraction), respectively. The isothermal section consists of 16 single-phased regions, 27 two-phased regions and 14 three-phased regions. No ternary phase was detected.
