Abstract
Deformation and fracture behavior of two-phase γ-TiAl alloys were investigated under monotonic tension loading conditions for duplex and lamellar microstructural forms. The effects of microstructure on tensile properties and deformation-fracture behavior are analyzed for deformation temperatures below and above the brittle-ductile transition. The crack initiation toughness and associated strains near the crack tip are used to explain the inverse relationship between ductility and toughness observed at room temperature. Fracture resistance behavior and toughening mechanisms at room temperature are explained in terms of microstructure and deformation anisotropy. The competition between the effects of grain size and lamellar spacing or tensile and toughness properties is discussed.

The deformation and fracture of TiAl at elevated temperatures

TL;DR: In this paper, the tensile properties of the intermetallic compound TiAl have been determined at several temperatures in the range 25 to 1000°C, and the results indicate that the ductilebrittle transition behavior of TiAl at about 700°C is controlled by the trailinga/6 [112] partial dislocation components of the superdislocations overcoming their pinning barriers.
