Abstract

The role of various interfaces in deformation and fracture behavior of two-phase TiAl-Ti3Al alloys is analyzed on the basis of the specific interfacial and surface energies determined from ab initio calculations. The propensity of twinning observed in these alloys is consistent with the low true-twin boundary energy. The strong plastic anisotropy reported in TiAl polysynthetically twinned (PST) crystals is attributed partly to the localized slip along lamellar interfaces, thus lowering the yield stress for soft orientations. Interfacial fracture energies are estimated to be the highest for the α2/γ lamellar boundary and the lowest for the 120° rotational γ/γ boundary. The fracture mode mixity plays an important role in the crack-tip plasticity by ordinary slip and true-twinning, leading to translamellar and interfacial fracture.
