The Observations on Faulted Dipoles in Deformed Tial—Based Alloys
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 22 February 2011
Abstract
The deformation structure of polycrystalline TiAl-based alloys after uniaxial compression at temperature range from 77K to 1073K has been examined using transmission electron microscopy. It was observed that a large number of faulted dipoles are commonly present in deformation structure of the alloys compressed at low temperature 77K and room temperature. The nature of the faulted dipoles has been determined to be intrinsic stacking fault lying on {111} plane, bounded by 1/6<112] partial dislocations. A possible mechanism for the formation of the faulted dipoles was suggested. The results of the statistic observation shows that faulted dipoles in deformed Ti-48A1 and Ti-(47–48) Al-X (X = V,Cr,Mn) alloys are less than those in single phase Ti-52A1 alloy, and the number of the faulted dipoles decreases with increasing deformation temperature. The effect of the faulted dipoles on plastic deformation of the alloy was discussed.
