This study focuses on the microstructure characteristics and tensile and creep properties of a near α high temperature Ti-6.6Al-4.6Sn-4.6Zr-0.9Nb-1.0Mo-0.32Si alloy. Microstructure characteristics were quantitatively investigated using optical microscopy, scanning electron microscope, and transmission electron microscopy. Tensile properties were carried out at room and high temperature. Creep properties were detected under applied stresses ranging from 100–350 MPa at 873–973 K, respectively. Results showed that Widmanstätten microstructure was obtained after hot forged and heat treatment. The strength decreases and the elongation rises with temperature increasing. The ultimate strength and elongation were 1010 MPa, 12% at room temperature, and 620 MPa, 20% at 923 K, respectively. The steady state creep rates rise correspondingly with stress and temperature. Stress exponents are measured within the range of 3.0–3.5. Thus, the creep mechanism is diffusion-controlled viscous glide of dislocation. Ti3Al precipitates are observed. The boundaries and precipitates can obstruct dislocation movement to improve the creep properties. Fracture mechanism of creep is intergranular. The creep mechanism varied from climb of dislocation to sliding of dislocation solution.

In this article, molecular dynamics simulation is used to primarily explore the lattice matching problem of solute atoms in different configurations after entering the Fe lattice at 0 K temperature. It reveals that by changing the initial configurations, metal solute atoms (Cr, Cu, Ti, Al) are more stable in the <110> configuration while C atom tends to stay in the octahedral gap of the BCC lattice. In addition, the matching mechanisms of different solute atoms in BCC Fe lattice in different configurations are elaborated in detail. The relaxation of metal solute atoms in different configurations eventually forms different stable structures while C atoms only exist in the nearest‐neighbor octahedral gap of the BCC Fe lattice in each configuration.
