Abstract
Pure Mo was incorporated in TiAl matrixvia two different routes: (1) hot pressing of alternately sandwiched Ti-Al sheets and Mo foils; and (2) coextrusion and heat treatment of Ti-Al green compact and Mo rod. The reaction zone between TiAl and Mo is found to contain two intermetallic phases: β-(Mo,Ti)Al andp-(Mo,Ti)3Al. The β-p boundary is incoherent, whereas the TiAl-β andp-Mo boundaries are semicoherent. The reaction zone grows with increasing heat-treatment time in a parabolic form. The incorporated Mo exhibits lower hardness than the TiAl matrix, implying that ductilizing and toughening of TiAl by introducing Mo as a ductile reinforcement are possible.
