TLDR
In this article, the authors investigated the impact of Nb additions on the performance of TiAl alloys with and without Nb addition and found that the hardening effect was dependent on the Al content of γ phase, being less significant in the phase containing higher aluminum.

Grain refinement in γ-Ti–Al-based alloys by solid state phase transformations

TL;DR: In this paper, a massive phase transformation was used for microstructural refinement of a coarse-grained fully lamellar ingot, which was characterized by hardness measurements and the variation of the c / a -ratio of the tetragonal γ-TiAl cell as obtained from X-ray diffraction.

Flow characteristics and constitutive modeling for elevated temperature deformation of a high Nb containing TiAl alloy

TL;DR: In this article, the hot deformation behavior of a high Nb containing TiAl alloy with a nominal composition of Ti-42Al-8Nb-(W, B, Y) was investigated at temperatures ranging from 1000 to 1150°C and strain rates from 10 −3 ǫs −1 to 0.5 ǔ s −1 on a Gleeble thermo-simulation machine.

Gamma titanium aluminides

TL;DR: The first International Symposium on Gamma Titanium Aluminides (ISGTA) was held in conjunction with the TMS '95 Annual Meeting, 13-16 February 1995, Las Vegas, under the sponsorship of the Structural Materials Division--Titanium Committee as discussed by the authors, which covered almost the entire aspects of the current gamma technology such as fundamentals, alloy development and design, process development, microstructure and property evaluation, and applications.

Microstructure and deformation of two-phase γ-titanium aluminides

TL;DR: In this paper, the current knowledge on dislocation types and slip systems, the development of deformation substructures, factors controlling the mobility and multiplication of dislocations, interface related plasticity, solid solution and precipitate strengthening mechanisms as well as microscopic aspects of creep and fracture are addressed.

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.

The compression behaviour of niobium alloyed γ-titanium alumindies

TL;DR: In this paper, the underlying mechanisms behind the reported high strength of titanium aluminide alloys containing a large addition of niobium has been investigated by determining the flow stresses and activation parameters of plastic deformation.
