Abstract

In this paper, the microstructure evolution of Ti-3Al-2Fe alloy as fabricated by Vacuum arc remelting(VAR) is studied by simulation combined with experiments. Different parts of the molten pool are affected by the temperature gradient and cause a difference in morphology. The center and non-edge regions of the molten pool (zone1 and znoe2) are mainly equiaxed crystals, and the dendrite width is small. The edge region of the molten pool (zone3) is dominated by columnar crystals, and the dendrite width is large. At the solid-liquid interface, the mass fraction of Al in the solid phase gradually decreases with time, while the mass fraction distribution of Fe increases. At the interface, the partition coefficient of Al decreases slightly and then increases with time, while that of Fe increases first and then decreases.
