Abstract

The interactions of dislocations asscociated with deformation modes active in hard orientation compressed polysynthetically-twinned (PST) TiAl with lamellar boundaries have been studied by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The deformation modes observed in the γ-phase involved soft superdislocation and hard ordinary dislocation slip, and hard twin systems. The transfer of these latter hard twin shears occurred across all types of lamellar (γ/γ)- and frequently across (γ/α2)-boundaries. Slip of superdislocations in the minority U2-phase lamellae has been shown to be associated with both direct transfer of piled-up twinning dislocation shears across the lamellar boundaries and the activation of interfacial sources due to pile-up stresses. The active deformation modes were consistent with macroscopic shape changes of the PST-TiAI when the various defect interactions with the lamellar boundaries and the proposed shear trasnfer processes were considered.
