Fracture toughness and damage mechanisms of intermetalic based on TiAl
Dlouhý, Ivo ; Chlup, Zdeněk ; Hadraba, Hynek ; Kozák, Vladislav
The paper concentrates on the analysis of the role of microstructure in fracture behaviour of TiAl intermetalics at room and elevated temperatures. Tensile properties, flexural strength and fracture toughness have been evaluated for alloys Ti-40Al-2Cr-2Nb-1B and Ti-46Al-0,7Cr-0,1Si-7Nb-0,2Ni. Positive effect of Nb on fracture resistance has been found; fracture toughness of the high Nb alloy increased at contemporary increase of tensile and flexural strength. Fracture surfaces have been evaluated using scanning electron microscopy showing the key role of mechanical twinning in deformation of both alloys followed. As a governing mechanism of the crack nucleation a microcrack formation at boundaries between mechanical twins and gama-TiAl grains has been confirmed. Extensive development of shear ligament toughening was observed supplying quite good values of fracture toughness in high niobium alloy.
