Abstract (en)

Producing a component from titanium-aluminum-based alloy, comprises producing a melted- or powder metallurgically manufactured starting material with a composition comprising e.g. aluminum and isostatically pressing the starting material to a raw part, (b) subjecting the hot isostatic press-raw part to a hot forming step and transformation with subsequent cooling to form the component, (c) subjecting the component to a heat treatment to form a homogeneous, fine globular microstructure comprising an atomic structure exhibiting phase and optionally heat treating the component. Producing a component from titanium-aluminum-based alloy comprises: (a) producing a melted- or powder metallurgically manufactured starting material with a chemical composition comprising aluminum (41-48 atom%), niobium (4-9 atom%), molybdenum (0.1-3 atom%), manganese (up to 2.4 atom%), boron (up to 1 atom%), silicon (up to 1 atom%), carbon (up to 1 atom%), oxygen (up to 0.5 atom%), nitrogen (up to 0.5 atom%), titanium and residual impurities, and isostatically pressing the starting material to a raw part at a pressure increase of at least 150 MPa, at a temperature of at least 1000[deg] C after soaking for a period of at least 60 minutes; (b) subjecting the hot isostatic press-raw part to a hot forming step by fast-massive forming at a speed of greater than 0.4 mm/second, and a transformation by compressing measured as local elongation (A) of greater than 0.3, where A is ln(hf/ho) in which hf is height of the workpiece after compression and ho is height of the workpiece before compression, or other transformation process with same high minimum transformation, preferably by forging at 1000-1350[deg] C under the formation of the component with subsequent cooling, where the time period until reaching a temperature of 700[deg] C is more than 10 minutes, and a structure that is dynamically recovered or recrystallized in small portions and exhibits a deformation microstructure with high recrystallization energy potential, is formed; (c) subjecting the component for adjusting the desired material properties to a heat treatment, in which a homogeneous, fine globular microstructure, which comprises, at room temperature, an atomic structure exhibiting phase, is formed at an eutectoid temperature of the alloy, preferably at 1010-1180[deg] C with a period of 30-1000 minutes from the transformation structure, based on the stored transformation energy and driving force for structural transformation consisting of chemical phase imbalance after transforming and cooling, after cooling in an air, where the atomic structure exhibiting phase comprises: globular alpha 2 phase with a particle size of 1-50 mu m and with a volume fraction of 1-50% that contains isolated, coarse gamma - lamellae with thickness of greater than 100 nm; globular beta 0phase surrounding the alpha 2 phase, with a particle size of 1-25 mu m and with a volume fraction of 1-50%; and globular gamma phase surrounding the alpha 2 phase, with a particle size of 1-25 mu m and with a volume fraction of 1-50%; and (d) optionally performing at least a further heat treatment, preferably sequence annealing and/or stabilization annealing of the component.
