Abstract

Deformation characteristics of Ti3A1 single crystals has been examined as a function of orientation and temperature. This paper mainly describes the result of compression along the c axis. In this orientation, the yield stress increases from 300 to 1100K, decreasing rapidly thereafter. The slip system activated are {1121}<1126> and dislocations observed are nearly of edge character. The anomaly is discussed in comparison with the behavior of other intermetallics and pure metals. An important role this pyramidal slip plays in polycrystalline ductility of Ti3Al is shown in the light of the briefly described results of the prism slip.
