Investigation on the microstructure and high temperature mechanical properties of Al3Ti-Mo3Al two-phase alloys
Investigation on the crystallographic orientation relationships among D0(22)-Al3Ti, A15-Mo3Al and high temperature bcc phase consisting of an Al-Mo-Ti ternary alloy with an equi-axed two-phase structure was conducted by FESEM/EBSD analysis. The grains of intermetallic phases have certain crystallographic orientations each other, while the crystallographic orientation distributions become random after a high temperature deformation. This strongly suggests the grain boundary sliding and grain rotating govern the high temperature deformation, which is consistent with the fact that the strain-rate sensitivity m is 0.3 or higher during a steady-state compressive deformation.
