The ordered ω phases in high Nb containing TiAl (Nb-TiAl) alloys have been garnering increasing attention in the recent years. However, the investigations on the Nb dependence on the ω o precipitation are scarce. In this study, the effect of Nb content on the ω o precipitation in high Nb (6-10 at%) containing TiAl alloys after long-time annealing at 850 1C has been studied. The results show that small ordered ω particles in the retained β o phase cannot be discerned under scanning electron microscope (SEM) but can be observed using transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Although the Nb segregation can be eliminated after the homogenization heat treatment, the ω o phase precipitated in all the alloys studied after annealing at 850 1C. TEM examination reveals that the orientation relationship between the ω o and α 2 phases can be derived as: [0001]ω o // [1120]α 2 ; (1120)ω o //(0001)α 2 , which indicates that the ω o phase is directly transformed from the parent α 2 phase. Small γ particles are also observed within the ω o areas. The α 2 -ω o þγ decomposition process is expected during annealing. It is concluded that ω o phase is an equilibrium phase in high Nb-TiAl alloys at 850 1C.
