Abstract
Postweld heat treated (postweld heat treatment, PWHT) structures of gamma titanium aluminides were analyzed by optical microscopy and X-ray diffraction techniques. It was found that PWHT promotes the formation of the γ phase. This microstructural change resulted in the reduction of the fusion zone microhardness mainly due to the reduction of the hard, brittle α 2 phase.
