According to the secondary dentrite arm
space L and composition at solid and liquid interface in solidification the
line model of temperature and cooling rate in dentrite has been established.
Meantime the cooling rate and the secondary arm space has been discussed. In
the intersection the cooling rate of solid and liquid ?T is gained. According
to dentrite therefore the secondary dentrite arm space can determine
temperature. The period one of cooling rate is from 8K/s to 0.7 K/s in speed of
1360mm/hr at the solidified length to be 210mm. The cooling rate will decrease
with increasing solidified length. When cooling rate is 1,360mm/hr the biggest
one in these three conditions will happen with 8K/s when it is 10?m and the
solidified length with 210mm. The crate will increase from 4.3K/s to 7.7 K/s
when the composition of Al increases from 0~1. From it it is observed that the
cooling rate is 4.7K/s in Ti3Al meanwhile it becomes 5.5K/s in TiAl. In
addition the cooling rate is 6.4K/s in TiAl3, so the directional solidification
will be easy in Al rich alloy since they are big cooling rate. When the
composition increases from 0 to 100% the dentritic secondary arm space will
incrase from 19?m to 35?m. In is concluded that TiAl3 is easier to form than
TiAl which is easies than Ti3Al too in general. The easy degree turn is
TiAl3..>TiAl >Ti3Al in Ti-Al intermetallic compounds.
The change of temperature in the solid and liquid in solidification transformation can deduce the related formula. The curve expresses its trend better. From this relation their secondary dendrite arm space composition will change when the transformation happens. It is known that the temperature in solidification can solve their relationship. In this study in terms of these equations the deduction and analysis is done. Here the solid and liquid equation is explored within line and find the simple formula which make us to calculate the cooling rate rapidly [1,2]. Therefore in this study the model of temperature and composition has been established to observe the trend and intrinsic relationship between them. TiAl as a promise materials has been searched and developed for many years. However the cooling rate with compositions is not much yet, so in this study the equation is established through temperature and composition according to the phase diagram. It is modelled with cooling rate and composition difference too in directional solidification test. The detail value is combined through phase equilibrium line and it is compared with thermal dynamics. The research scope is from 0 to pure Al here [3]. On the other side the relationship with cooling rate and energy difference & temperature has been investigated according to varied speed and ?S respectively for the application. According to the solidified crystalline and phase diagram the application will be known. In addition relationship between cooling rate and energy difference & temperature are drawn for further research in this study. To calculate the cooling rate is our destination in the end in terms of the composition in TiAl alloys. Therefore the establishment equation between temperature and cooing rate in terms of the equilibrium diagram [4-9] (Figure 1).

According to mathematic
equation to model intrinsic relation between the dentritic secondary arm space
and composition it has
Since
T=-1000Com+2273 [3] -- (1)
And T=44,260/L [6] -- (2)
So it has
L=442, 60/ (-1000Com+2273?
Since Crate=9680/44*L
From above equations it
has
Crate=9680/
(-1000Com+2273) ---(3)
The (3) is the equation
of cooling rate and composition.
Here T is temperature K;
Com is composition; L is dentritic secondary arm space mm. Crate is cooling
rate mm.
Since Gibbs free energy
is ?G=?H-T?S --- (4)
Substitute (1) to above
equation it has
?G=?H+ (1000Com-2273)?S ---(5)
Here ?G is Gibbs free
energy; ?H is enthalpy KJ/mol; Com is composition Al; ?S is entropy J/mol/K.
In Figure 1 the crate
will increase from 4.3K/s to 7.7 K/s when the composition of Al increases from
0~1. From it it is observed that the cooling rate is 4.7K/s in Ti3Al meanwhile
it becomes 5.5K/s in TiAl. In addition the cooling rate is 6.4K/s in TiAl3, so
the directional solidification will be easy in Al rich alloy since they are big
cooling rate. As seen in Figure 2(a~h) when the drawing speed increases from
760~1360mm/hr with the solidified length of 210mm and 350 mm the cooling rate
will increase from 4.5K/s, 5.7K/s, 6.2K/s & 8K/s and 0.2K/s, 0.5K/s, 0.6K/s
&0.7K/s at the place of 10?m to 2.7K/s, 3.3K/s,4.1K/s &4.8K/s and
0.2K/s,0.3K/s, 0.35K/s & 0.4K/s at the same one of 135?m in TiAl
respectively. At the solidified length to be 350mm it has maximum value of
cooling rate with 8K/s under the condition of 1,360mm/hr. Meantime the minimum
cooling rate is 0.2K/s under 760mm/hr and dendrite secondary arm space L=135?m
with solidified length of 350mm. It expresses that the cooling rate increases
when the drawing speed becomes bigger (Figure 2,3).
As seen in Figure 3 the free enegy difference
will increase if composition of Al increases. The energy difference will be
from -3,300J to 1,200J when composition Al is from 0 to 0.75 in TiAl. It
expresses that the Al content is bigger the consumed eneger is smaller. That
says that TiAl3 is easier to form than TiAl which is easier than Ti3Al too in
general. The easy degree turn is TiAl3..>TiAl >Ti3Al in Ti-Al
intermetallic compounds. In short it known that the directional solidification
will be easy in Al rich alloy since they are big cooling rate. The cooling rate
increases wthen the drawing speed becomes bigger. Meanwhile the temperature
difference will decrease if composition difference of Al increases. It is known
that free energy will decrease when the temperature increases therefore the
relation between free energy and composition of Al exists in. It is seen that
the bigger composition difference will create the lower temperature difference.
At
solid and liquid interface in solidification the curve model of temperature and
dentrite secondary arm space in solidified course has been established within
760mm/hr and 1360mm/hr with 210mm and 350mm of solidified length. Meantime the
cooling rate and secondary arm space L has been discussed. In the intersection
the cooling rate of solid and liquid ?T is gained. Composition difference has
been deduced and analyzed according to dentrite therefore the dentrite
secondary arm space can determine temperature. When the secondary arm space in
dentrite is from 10 to 135?m the temperature changes from 4,200? (4473K) to
300? (573K). It is known that TiAl3 is easier to form than TiAl which is easier
than Ti3Al too in general. The easy degree turn is TiAl3...>TiAl >Ti3Al
in Ti-Al intermetallic compounds.
The
period one of cooling rate is from 8K/s to 0.7 K/s in speed of 1,360mm/hr. When
the cooling rate attains from 4.5K/s to 0.2K/s with the secondary arm space
increasing to minimum value 760mm/hr. When cooling rate is 1360mm/hr the
biggest one in these three conditions will happen with 8K/s mentioned again.
The crate will increase from 4.3K/s to 7.7 K/s
when the composition of Al increases from 0~1. From it is observed that the
cooling rate is 4.7K/s in Ti3Al meanwhile it becomes 5.5K/s in TiAl. In
addition the cooling rate is 6.4K/s in TiAl3, so the directional solidification
will be easy in Al rich alloy since they are big cooling rate. When the
composition increases from 0 to 100% the dentritic secondary arm space will
increase from 19?m to 35?m. It explains that the more composition create higher
dentritic secondary space.
