Abstract

The thermal stability of a TiAl based alloy was investigated through a series of high temperature exposures in air and vacuum. The microstructures were found to be thermally stable. The bending tests showed that both ductility and strength of air-exposed specimens decreased, but no significant variation was observed in those exposed in vacuum. The influence of alloy microstructure, thermal exposure temperature and time was also taken into account here.
