2. Description of the Related Art Parts that rotate or reciprocate are becoming increasingly lightweight in order to meet the demands for higher performance, ie, higher responsiveness and higher output. Therefore,
For the heat-resistant materials used in these parts, emphasis is placed on specific strength (strength/density) rather than mere strength, and efforts are being made to improve it. Under these circumstances, Ti--Al alloys, particularly those containing the intermetallic compound TiAl as a main constituent phase, are attracting attention. The intermetallic compound TiAl has a creep rupture life of 1000 under the operating temperature (stress of 28.1 Kgf/ mm2) .
temperature (corresponding to time) is 800℃, and the
The withstand temperature of Ti alloy (Ti-6Al-4V) is higher than 550℃, and the specific gravity is 3.8, while the specific gravity of Ti alloy is 4.5.
rather than that of ceramics (for example, Si 3 N 4 is
3.2), on the other hand, it has a ductility not found in ceramics, and its specific strength is similar to that of Ni-based superalloys (e.g.
Inconel−713C). However, Ti-Al alloys containing the intermetallic compound TiAl as a main constituent phase have a disadvantage in that they have lower ductility than Ti alloys and Ni-based alloys, and are difficult to plastically work. Therefore, efforts have been made to improve the ductility (for example, JP-A-56-41844 discloses the addition of V), but this has not yet been put to practical use. In addition, the melting point of the intermetallic compound TiAl is
This is higher than the melting point of Ni-based superalloys (usually 1250°C to 1400°C), exceeding 1500°C, which poses problems in casting. In precision casting using ceramic molds using the conventional lost wax method, active
This is because the molten TiAl at a temperature of over 1500°C reacts with the ceramic mold, making it difficult to obtain a sound casting with the desired shape.

The reason for selecting the above alloy composition in the Ti-Al alloy of the present invention is as follows. Al: 32~38% The stoichiometric composition that gives the intermetallic compound TiAl (Υ phase) is Ti36%, and TiAl exists as a single phase in the Ti-Al binary alloy because Al: 34~40%.
is within the range of Even within this range, if Al exceeds 38%, the ductility decreases and is contrary to the purpose, so this is set as the upper limit. On the other hand, when the Ti-rich composition becomes less than 34% Al, Ti 3 Al (α 2 phase) is formed. Although this compound is useful in improving ductility in a small amount, it is brittle in itself, so if it is in a large amount, embrittlement will occur. Therefore, the lower limit was set at 32%. Ni: 0.05-3.0% Si: 0.05-3.0% Ni and Si dissolve in the TiAl phase to improve ductility. This effect is observed starting from 0.05%. However, Ni and Si, which can be solid-solubilized in the TiAl phase,
is up to 3.0%, and since adding more than this will result in a decrease in ductility, the upper limit for each is set here. Ni and Si also serve to lower the melting point of the alloy. B: 0.005 to 0.3% or less B strengthens the grain boundaries of the TiAl compound, increases ductility, and refines crystal grains to improve strength. This effect can be obtained by adding as little as 0.005%. On the other hand, if the amount is too large, it will lead to the formation of a brittle boride phase and reduce ductility.
The upper limit was set at 0.3%. Like Ni and Si, B also has the effect of lowering the melting point of the alloy. C: 0.2% or less C forms a carbide TiC with Ti and increases the strength of the alloy, but on the other hand, it significantly reduces the ductility of the alloy, so the upper limit was regulated to 0.2%. O: 0.3% or less N: 0.2% or less O and N solidly dissolve in TiAl and increase the strength of the alloy, but on the other hand, they significantly reduce the ductility of the alloy, so the upper limits were regulated to 0.3% and 0.2%, respectively. .
