Abstract: Study was made of the behaviour of ordering transformation in Ti_3AI-Nb alloy,including the ordering at high temperatures,the transformation of high temperature β-phase during cooling,and the decomposition of metastable β-phase during aging.The results show that the ordered primary α_2 and high temperature β in alloy form at 1060℃.The transformation of high temperature β-phase proceed by β→α_2+ω type during cooling,and the decomposition of metastable β and ω type proceeded by(β+ω)_(metustabte)→(α_2+β)_(stable)during aging at 700℃.

Key words: Ti_3Al-Nb alloy, ordering transformation, α_2-phase, β-phase, ω-phase
