摘要

The α2 + γ two-phase γ-TiAl alloys with full lamellar structure exhibit excellent mechanical properties, which are potential blade materials for aero-engines working under stress and high-temperature. In this study, the evolution and stability of nano-lamella under external stress in γ-TiAl alloys are investigated by using phase-field simulation. The application of external stress affects the chemical potential and the local composition across the γ/γ and α2/γ interfaces. The tensile stress quickens the lamellar splitting for the stress concentration within the γ lamella, and accelerates the diffusion-induced coarsening of the γ lamella to form thicker lamella. In contrast, the compressive stress inhibits the splitting and coarsening, and refines the γ lamella. The results reveal the thermo-mechanical coupling induced evolution of nano-lamella in the γ-TiAl alloys operating at high-temperature and external stress.
