Structure of quenched alloys of the Ti–Pd system

详细

The quenched alloys of the Ti–Pd system containing 2–15 at % Pd have been studied using X-ray diffraction analysis, optical metallography, transmission electron microscopy, and measurements of the microhardness. It has been found that, in the course of quenching, epy alloys containing 2, 3, and 5 at % Pd undergo a eutectoid decomposition into the α phase and Ti₂Pd intermetallic compound, and the Ti–7 at % Pd and Ti–9 at % Pd alloys undergo a β → α' martensitic transformation. In the alloys with Pd contents of more than 9 at %, the β phase is fixed in the metastable state. The complete stabilization of the β phase takes place in the alloys containing 11 at % Pd and more. It has been found that the formation of the orthorhombic α" phase and metastable ω phase in the quenched alloys of this system does not occur.
