摘要
A γ-TiAl alloy with nominal composition of Ti-47%Al（molar fraction） was directionally solidified in an alumina mould with an Y2O3 protective coating.The effects of processing parameters（melting temperature and interaction time） on the metal-coating interface,microstructure and chemical composition of the alloy were evaluated.The result shows that the Y2O3 protective coating exhibits an effective barrier capability to avoid direct contact between the mould base material and the TiAl melt,although the Y2O3 coating is found to suffer some erosion and be slightly dissolved by the molten TiAl due to the coating-metal interactions.The directionally solidified alloys were contaminated with Y and O,and Y2O3 inclusions were dispersed in the metal matrix.The reason for this metal contamination is the Y2O3 coating dissolution by the TiAl melt.One mode of the interaction between Y2O3 and the TiAl melt is dissolution of yttrium and atomic oxygen in the melt by reaction Y2O3（s）=2Y（in TiAl melt）＋3O（in TiAl melt）.Both the extent of alloy contamination and the volume fractions of Y2O3 inclusions depend on the melting temperature and the interaction time.
研究液态金属冷却定向凝固条件下,Ti-47%Al合金与Y2O3/Al2O3双层结构陶瓷管内层Y2O3的相互作用。分析熔体温度和相互作用时间对界面反应、合金组织和成分的影响。结果表明:虽然Y2O3层受到一定程度的侵蚀和溶解,但Y2O3层有效地阻隔化学稳定性较差的Al2O3外层与TiAl合金熔体接触,避免Al2O3与TiAl之间的化学反应。合金熔体受到一定程度的污染且含有少量夹杂物。在一定保温时间内,合金中的杂质含量(Y和O)和夹杂物(Y2O3)体积分数均随着过热温度的提高而增加,但随着保温时间的进一步延长,杂质含量和夹杂物体积分数趋于恒定值,不再显著变化。
