Ternary Ti-Al-V (Llo) alloys containing vanadium up to 10 at.% and aluminum in the range of 50–55 at.% were prepared. Miniature specimens machined from these alloys were deformed in uniaxial compression at room temperature.
The yield stress, and fracture stress and strain were determined with respect to vanadium and aluminum concentration. The deformed alloys were electropolished into thin foils and studied by TEM. In particular, the types of dislocations, stacking faults and twins in the Ti-Al-V alloys were investigated by TEM.
