Abstract

The effects of oxygen on the deformation behavior of Ti-(48-52)Al alloys is reported. Two types of studies were conducted. In the first, high purity alloy buttons containing low oxygen (~250 ppm) were prepared, whereas in the second, alloys with additions of 1 at.% Er to scavenge the oxygen from the matrix were prepared. The alloys were heat treated to produce large grains and the microstructures characterized by analytical electron microscopy. Samples prepared from the heat treated alloys were electropolished and deformed in compression to a plastic strain of 1.0-1.5% at temperatures between 25 and 800°C and the yield stress measured. The morphology of deformation, that is, slip lines and the presence of twinning, was studied by optical microscopy and the dislocation structures were characterized by weak-beam imaging in the transmission electron microscope. The results of these various studies are presented and discussed in terms of recent developments regarding the factors that appear to control the dislocation structure and the mobility of dislocations.
