Abstract
Multilayered Ti-Al based intermetallic sheets were fabricated by sintering alternately layered titanium and aluminum foils. The microstructure and phase formation of the obtained sheets under different sintering conditions were evaluated by various techniques. The results reveal that when the sintering temperature is above the melting point of aluminum, the self-propagating high-temperature synthesis reaction occurs between Ti and Al, and forms various phases of Ti-based solid solutions including α-Ti Ti 3Al, TiAl, TiAl 2 and α-Ti including TiAl 3, etc. When the sintering time increased, Ti-based solid solution, TiAl 2 and TiAl 3 disappeared gradually, and the sheet containing Ti 3Al and TiAl phases in a multilayered structure formed finally. A lot of voids were also observed in the sintered structures, which were caused by the melting Al, Kirkendall effect and the difference of molar volumes between reactants and products. The voids were eliminated and a dense sample was obtained by the following hot press.
