Microstructure Evolution of TiAl under Tensile Impact Loadings

Article Preview

Abstract:

The microstructure evolution of TiAl intermetallics with different microstructures loaded under different strain rates and temperatures was investigated. The results showed that the deformation twinning dominated the deformation process under high strain rate, while dislocation slip was another dominating deformation mode under quasi-static loadings. The proportion of twinned grain increased with the increased strain rate. In Duplex TiAl, the plastic deformation was mainly found in equaxied grains and seldom found in lamellar grains.
