Abstract

The hot workability of a γ titanium alumlnlde alloy was investigated using hot tension tests In the temperature range 900-1350°C and for deformation rates varying from 0.0001 to 5 s−1. One series of tests was performed on cast + HIP'ped material and was designed to characterize fracture behavior during primary ingot break-down. Another series of tests was conducted on extruded and heat treated material In order to Investigate the fracture processes occurring during secondary processing. The deformation and fracture characteristics were analyzed to assess the influence of microstructural features as well as the relative volume fractions of the γ and α/α2 phases.
