Abstract

At room temperature sheets of γ-TiAl exhibit a higher yield stress in the rolling direction than in the transverse direction. Around 700°C the opposite behavior is observed. The texture mainly consists of a modified cube component. The tetragonal c-axis (001) is aligned in the sheet plane transversely to the rolling direction. Taken into account this special texture and the single crystal yield surface of γ-TiAl we conclude that around 700°C the CRSS of super-dislocations is higher than the CRSS of ordinary dislocations. At RT the relation changes to the opposite.
