Popis: Samples of TiAl-based matrix in-situ composite with the chemical composition Ti-46.4Al-5.1Nb-1C-0.2B (at.%) reinforced with a low volume fraction of primary Ti2AlC particles were prepared by vacuum induction melting in graphite crucibles and centrifugal casting into graphite moulds. The hot isostatic pressing (HIP) of the as-cast samples and subsequent heat treatments leads to the formation of equiaxed grains with fully lamellar α2(Ti3Al) + γ (TiAl) microstructure and uniformly distributed Ti2AlC and TiB particles. The minimum creep rates of the in-situ composite are significantly lower compared to those measured for the counterpart low carbon benchmark alloy with the chemical composition Ti-47Al-5.2Nb-0.2C-0.2B (at.%) at temperatures ranging from 800 to 900 °C and applied stress of 200 MPa. The studied in-situ composite shows also significantly improved creep resistance compared to that of some TiAl-based alloys with fully lamellar, convoluted and pseudo-duplex microstructures at a temperature of 800 °C and applied stress of 200 MPa.
