Abstract

The deformation behaviour of two-phase titanium aluminide alloys with a lamellar microstructure of the intermetallic phases α2(Ti3Al) and y(TiAl) was studied. The interaction processes of dislocations and deformation twins, respectively, with the lamellar interfaces are investigated by conventional and high-resolution electron microscopy. The mechanisms of translation of shear deformation across, the lamellar boundaries depend on their structure. Semicoherent interfaces are very effective barriers limiting the propagation of shear deformation. The misfit dislocations present at these interfaces support, on the other hand, the generation of dislocations and deformation twins. The observed processes are discussed regarding plastic deformation and crack propagation in the material.
