Abstract

The effects of strain rate and temperature on the tensile yield strength and elongation of titanium aluminides are studied. The alloy Ti-45Al-10Nb (at%) has a fully lamellar microstructure. The test results show that the brittle-ductile transition (BDT) temperature increases with the increases of strain rate and temperature. The activation energy is 330kJ/mol, which approximates to the self-diffusion activation energy of atoms in the TiAl alloy. Fractography and dislocation configuration analyses demonstrate that the brittle-ductile transition of the alloy Ti-45Al-10Nb is controlled by dislocation climb.
