Abstract

Long-period superstructures formed in off-stoichiometric L 1(0)-TiAl alloys were investigated by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM). The HRTEM analysis combined with multislice simulation and image processing was carried out to clarify atomistic microstructures of Al5Ti3 and h-Al2Ti ordered states and a short-range ordered (SRO) state in Ti-62.5 at.% Al alloys. Aluminium atoms in the (002) Ti layers form square-, lean rhombus- and fat rhombus-type ordered clusters in the SRO state. The ordered clusters are in contact with each other and form microdomains of various long-period superstructures. The ordered clusters are tiled periodically in a long range to form Al5Ti3 or h-Al2Ti domains and characteristic antiphase boundary structures.
