The influence of the addition of 2.3 at.-% Y and of 0.8 at.-% Zr + 0.2 at.-% Y on the properties of TiAl43Nb4Mo1B0.1 (TNM-B1) titanium aluminide alloy is investigated. Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy analysis shows that the Y content of the β, γ, and α2 phases is low, and nearly all of the Y is in the Al2Y phase. The Zr content in the alloy phases is the same as that in alloy. Tensile tests show that Y addition decreases tensile strength and elongation, but only minor effects on these properties are observed after the addition of Zr and Y. It is shown that the addition of Y leads to a decrease in the heat resistance of TiAl43Nb4Mo1B0.1 alloy at 900°C.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
