The microstructures of ordered Ti3Al-lZr (alpha2 +Zr) and Ti-Al-Nb alloys produced by ingot metallurgy (IM) and by rapid solidification (RS) are compared. The RS Ti3Al-iZr (alpha2 structure) alloy displayed small antiphase domains (APD) of 10–20 nm in the as-produced condition, but large grain size. The latter observation is rationalized in terms of the cooling history used to produce the material. The RS Ti-Al-Nb alloy exhibited an equiaxed microstructure. The IM Ti-Al-Nb material displays a complete change in microstructure between 1010°C and 1035°C, indicating a narrow alpha+beta phase field.
