Abstract

Two types of special grain boundaries were examined in Ti-49Al-3Nb deformed at elevated temperatures. The first can be described as a Σ=2 order-changing boundary. This boundary is faceted and results from the nucleation and growth of variants of the γ phase from the parent α phase. The second type of grain boundary is a γ/α2 interphase boundary, and transmission of slip through this type of boundary was examined. Slip transmission from γ into α2 did not produce distinct slip bands in α2,. Slip transmission from γ through α2, and into the next γ lamella was possible even when the next γ lamella was in an orientation rotated relative to the first γ lamella.
