Abstract

Two-phase alloys comprising γ'-Ni3(Al,Ti) and β-Ni(Al,Ti) deform in a non-homogeneous manner at room temperature. Plastic deformation initiates in the softer γ' phase, resulting in internal stresses which build up at the γ'/β phase boundaries. These stresses can be relieved by a number of mechanisms including cracking, void formation, and slip propagating across the boundary into the harder β phase. We have investigated the interaction between mobile dislocations and the γ’/β interface by TEM. We found that compatible deformation occurs at boundaries where a favourable orientation relationship exists between the adjoining phases. In particular, the γ'[011](111) dislocations can be injected into the β phase to become β[100](011) dislocations, leaving residual dislocations at the interfaces. The effect of phase distribution on the operation of this mechanism is analysed, and discussed in relation to the enhancement of ductility of the βphase.
