The Kinetics of Primary Alpha Plate Growth in Titanium Alloys
The Kinetics of Primary Alpha Plate Growth in Titanium Alloys
The kinetics of primary alpha-Ti colony/Widmanstatten plate growth from the beta are examined, comparing model to experiment. The plate growth velocity depends sensitively both on the diffusivity D(T) of the rate-limiting species and on the supersaturation around the growing plate. These result in a maxima in growth velocity around 40 …
