The crystal structures and morphologies of precipitates in L10-ordered TiAl intermetallics containing nitrogen were investigated by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Under aging at an approximate temperature of 1073 K after quenching from 1423 K, TiAl hardens appreciably due to the nitride precipitation. TEM observations revealed that needle-like precipitates, which lie only in one direction parallel to the [001] axis of the L10-TiAl matrix, appear in the matrix preferentially at the dislocations. Selected area electron diffraction (SAED) pattern analyses showed that the needle-shaped precipitate is perovskite-type Ti3AlN (P-phase). The orientation relationship between the P-phase and the L10-TiAl matrix was found to be (001)p//(001)TiAl and [010]p//[010]TiAl. By aging at higher temperatures or for longer periods at 1073 K, plate-like precipitates of Ti2AlN (H-phase) with a hexagonal structure formed on the 111 planes of the L10-TiAl matrix. The orientation relationship between the Ti2AlN and the L10-TiAl matrix is (0001)H//(111)TiAl and H//TiAl.
