Abstract

Ternary TiAl-base alloys containing Cr have been studied, using rapidsolidification processed materials. The mechanical behavior has been characterized and related to other results on microstructure, site occupancy, phase stability, and deformation mode. It was found that Cr additions enhance the plasticity of duplex γ+a2 alloys, but not single-phase alloys. The ductilization effect of Cr is partially due to its ability to occupy Al lattice sites and modify the Ti-Al bond. It is also partially due to its ability to promote twin formation, by modifying the Al partitioning and therefore the a2/γ volume ratio in transformed regions.
