Abstract
The intention of this study was to investigate the mechanical properties of an engineering γ-TiAl-based alloy with fully lamellar microstructure under quasistatic and dynamic compression at room temperature and strain rates ranging from 5.0 × 10–3 s–1 to 4.0 × 103 s–1 The microstructure of undeformed and deformed specimens was investigated by means of optical and electron microscopy. The results of the compression tests exhibit a slight strain rate sensitivity of the postyield stress. The fracture behavior of the studied γ-TiAl alloy strongly depends on the applied strain rates. Transmission electron microscopy observations conducted on deformed specimens revealed the existence of a high number of tangled ordinary dislocations, curved superdislocations and mechanical twins. The analysis of the deformation texture confirms the high activity of superdislocations and mechanical twinning during dynamic compression testing.
