Abstract

Rapidly-solidified microstructures were produced in aTi-22 wt% Fe alloy by laser surface melting, melt extraction, melt spinning and splat cooling. Increased cooling rates during solidification promoted increasingly finer beta grain sizes ranging from approximately 75 microns in a laser melt to 0.5 to 2.0 microns for splats. Beta grain morphologiesw ere generally equiaxed, although epitaxially-nucleated columnar grains were observed at the pool-substrate interface for laser melts. Fitting of the equiaxed beta grain size data to a λ0 = Boε−n0 power relationship for homogenous nucleation and isotropic growth resulted in Bo = 3 × 104 and no = 0.62. The refinement of dendrite structure with increasing cooling rate was also documented for laser melts. Dendrite spacing versus cooling rate data were fitted to a similar general power relationship and resulted in B1 = 45 and n1 = 0.34.
