Application research of centrifugal investment cast TiAl component used for advanced aircraft engine

A more complex structural component with small size and very thin walls and blades used for advanced aircraft engine was fabricated well by induction skull melting and centrifugal investment casting with a proper ceramic mold. The tensile elongation and ultimate strength of the hot isostatically pressed (HIPped) Ti-46.5Al-2.5V-1Cr (mole fraction, %) casting alloy sare up to 2.5% and 645 Mpa at room temperature, and 31% and 593 Mpa a t 800 ℃. The fracture roughness at room temperature is up to 28 Mpa*m1/2 . The endurance tensile strength at 800 ℃ for 150 h, is higher than 200 Mpa. The high cycle rotary bending fatigue strengths for 1×107 cycles at room temperature and 800 ℃ a re 412 Mpa and 270 Mpa, respectively.
