Abstract
AbstractTwo γ‐TiAl alloys, Ti‐47at%Al‐2at%Nb‐2at%Cr (MJ12) and Ti‐47at%Al‐2at%Nb‐2at%Mn‐0.8at%TiB2 (MJ47), were nitrided by direct metal–gas reaction at 1000–1300 K in 10 cm3s−1NH3. X‐ray diffraction revealed formation of TiN at 1100–1300 K. Knoop microhardness values of the alloys were increased with an increase in the nitridation temperature. Microhardness values of MJ12 and MJ47 with 1300 K nitridation were respectively improved to 1.65 and 1.38 times those of the controls. Nitridation depth at a variety of temperature determined by Rutherford backscattering spectrometry was increased with an increase in the temperature. Ti, Al and N concentrations at a variety of depths analysed by scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive X‐ray linescanning are also explained. Copyright © 2005 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
