Abstract

Deformation of two-phase titanium aluminides exhibits discontinuous yielding and a negative strain rate sensitivity over the temperature range 450–750 K. These phenomena are usually associated with the Portevin-LeChatelier effect which is due to the dynamic interaction of diffusing defects with the dislocations. The resulting glide resistance was investigated by static strain aging. The experiments involve the prestraining of samples followed by aging under a relaxing load for certain periods of time. Reloading of the samples resulted in distinct yield points. The investigations were performed on two-phase γ-titanium aluminides having different compositions and microstructures which are currently being considered for technical applications. Accordingly, dislocation locking occurs with fast kinetics which is characterized by a low activation energy. The experimental results will be discussed with respect to the nature of the diffusional mechanism and possible implication on the mechanical properties of the materials.
