Abstract
Liquidus temperatures were determined for the titanium-aluminum system at compositions ranging from 41 to 62 at. pct Al. The measurements were obtained by inducing solidification of slightly undercooled melts under containerless processing conditions using electromagnetic levitation. Absolute temperatures were determined by optical pyrometry in combination with independent measurements of spectral emissivities by laser polarimetry. The present liquidus temperatures are in agreement with two sets of literature values and are consistent with a set of solid-state literature data. These values exceed those selected in one recent proposed phase diagram revision by about 30 K and are as much as 40 to 60 K higher than those in another proposed revision.
