Abstract

Fracture toughness vs. temperature of the cubic (L12), Mn- modified titanium trialuminide (based on Al3Ti) was investigated in air at the temperature range up to 1000°C. Toughness calculated from the maximum load exhibits a broad peak (KQ≈7–10 MPara0,5) at the 200- 500°C temperature range and then decreases with increasing temperature, reaching a room temperature value of ∼4.5 MPam0.5 at 1000°C. However, the work of fracture (γWOF, J/m2) and the stress intensity factor calculated from it (KIWOF) increases continuously with increasing temperature. Fracture modes exhibit a gradual transition from transgranular cleavage at room temperature to predominantly intergranular failure at the 800- 1000°C range.
