Abstract

The microcracking behavior of TiAl-based alloys with the duplex and fully-lamellar microstructures was studied during compression. It was found that the fracture involves propagation of the existing microcracks and development of more new nuclei, instead of being a nucleation-controlled event. The lamellar interfaces, especially those having an angle of about 0°-30° to the loading axis, were found to be the favorable nucleation sites. Microcrack nucleation is likely to be initiated by tensile normal stress concentrated on the lamellar interfaces.
