Abstract

The fracture toughness test was conducted on γ + α2 two-phase TiAl alloys with lamellar, duplex and near-y structures. The x-ray fractographic technique was applied to the fracture, surfaces. The plastic zone size my was determined on the basis of the distributions of the residual stress and the half-value breadth beneath the fracture surfaces. Although the fracture mode shows microstructure dependence, ωγ is related to the fracture toughness value KIC and the yield stress σY as:

ωy=α(KIC/σY)

where α is 0.13.
