摘要

Ti-49Al (at.%) alloy was directionally solidified in Bridgman-type directional solidification furnace. The specimens were directionally solidified under an argon atmosphere with the different growth rate (V=5-30 mu m/s) at a constant temperature gradient (G=12.1 K/mm), and with the different temperature gradient (G=2.8-12.1 K/mm) at a constant growth rate (V=10 mu m/s). The dendritic spacings (lambda (1)) were measured from both transverse and longitudinal sections of the specimens. The dependence of lambda (1) on the growth rate (V) and temperature gradient (G) were determined by using linear regression analysis. According to the experimental results, the value of lambda (1) decreases with the increase of values of V and G. The experimental results were compared with the current theoretical and numerical models, and similar previous experimental results.
