In-situ observation of the phase evolution during an electromagnetic-assisted sintering experiment of an intermetallic ?-TiAl based alloy

Electromagnetic-assisted sintering offers the possibility for a time-efficient densification of intermetallic ?-TiAl based powders. Since microstructure densified material and, thus, its mechanical properties can be controlled by imposed temperature profile, kinetics and transformations occurring phases are particular interest. The present study describes diffraction setup in-situ observation phase evolution high-energy X-ray during an electromagnetic-assisted process using induction heating. Starting from Ti-46.3Al-2.2W-0.2B powder (in at.%), this experiment grants time-resolved insights into non-equilibrium equilibrium consolidation first time. microstructural accordance sintered specimen with spark plasma at same dwell highlights transferability both techniques allows allocation determined transformation data to technology.
