Abstract: | A two-phase TiAl/Ti3Al alloy with a lamellar microstructure has been previously shown to exhibit a lower minimum creep rate than the minimum creep
rates of the constituent TiAl and Ti3Al single-phase alloys. Fiducial-line experiments described in the present article demonstrate that the creep rates of the
constituent phases within the two-phase TiAl/Ti3Al lamellar alloy tested in compression are more than an order of magnitude lower than the creep rates of single-phase TiAl
and Ti3Al alloys tested in compression at the same stress and temperature. Additionally, the fiducial-line experiments show that
no interfacial sliding of the phases in the TiAl/Ti3Al lamellar alloy occurs during creep. The lower creep rate of the lamellar alloy is attributed to enhanced hardening of the
constituent phases within the lamellar microstructure. A composite-strength model has been formulated to predict the creep
rate of the lamellar alloy, taking into account the lower creep rates of the constituent phases within the lamellar micro-structure.
Application of the model yields a very good correlation between predicted and experimentally observed minimum creep rates
over moderate stress and temperature ranges.
