Abstract: | The work-hardening mechanisms in two-phase γ-titanium aluminide alloys were characterized in terms of the glide obstacles determining the velocity and slip path of dislocations,
utilizing transmission electron microscopy (TEM) observations and thermodynamic-glide parameters. There was clear evidence
that short-range obstacles in the form of dislocation debris and dipoles were produced during plastic deformation at room
temperature. These dislocation obstacles contributed significantly to work hardening. The observed strong strain hardening
arose from long-range elastic dislocation interactions and the production of dipole and debris defects. The thermal stability
of these deformation-induced defects was assessed by isothermal and isochronal annealing. The results indicated that the dipole
and debris defects were relatively unstable upon annealing at moderately high temperatures, which led to significant recovery
of work hardening.
This article is based on a presentation made in the symposium entitled “Fundamentals of Structural Intermetallics,” presented
at the 2002 TMS Annual Meeting, February 21–27, 2002, in Seattle, Washington, under the auspices of the ASM and TMS Joint
Committee on Mechanical Behavior of Materials. |
