Abstract

Cast, homogenized, and isothermally forged aluminum-rich L12 compounds Al87Ti25Cr8 and Al66Ti25Mn9 were tested in compression as a function of temperature and as a function of strain rate at elevated temperatures (1000K and 1100K). Three-point bend specimens were tested as a function of temperature in the range 300K to 873K. Strain gages glued on the tensile side of the ambient and 473K specimens enabled direct strain measurements. A number of “buttonhead” tensile specimens were electro-discharge machined, fine polished, and tested between ambient and 1073K for yield strength and ductility as a function of temperature. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) examination of fracture surfaces from both the bend and tensile specimens revealed a gradual transition from transgranular cleavage to intergranular failure with increasing temperature.
