Deformation Mechanisms and Mechanical Properties of B2 Compounds in Ti-Modified Nb-Al Alloys
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 January 1992
Abstract
The deformation mechanisms have been determined of two compounds based on Nb3Al containing additions of Ti (Nb-15Al-10Ti and Nb-15Al-40Ti, in at.%) such that they exhibited the B2 crystal structure. The compounds are strong over a range of temperatures, at least up to 900°C, and are inherently ductile. The compounds deform by activation of one or more of the following slip systems, namely <111>{110}, <111>{112} and <111>{ 123}. The dislocations are present in the form of dissociated superpartial pairs, each with Burgers vector, b, given by b=1/2<111>, which bound a ribbon of antiphase boundary(APB). From the separation of the partial dislocations, the APB energy decreases with increasing amounts of Ti.
