Abstract: Rapid liquid quenching was accomplished by using an arc-melting piston and anvil apparatus.A small amount of the rare earth element Nd in melt quenched Ti80Si2o alloy promotes eutectic precipitation of β-Ti and Ti5Si3.An orientation relationship of the Ti5Si3 and the β-Ti phase is <2113>∥<001>β-Ti,(0110)∥(110)β-Ti.The alloy forming heat of the Ti5Si3 is more negative than that of the β-Ti phase and the Ti5Si3 precipitates first.

Key words: melt-quenched Ti alloy, Nd, microstructure
