Abstract

Conventional and high-resolution electron microscopy has been used to examine the interfacial structures in (α2 + γ) titanium aluminide alloys. Accommodation of misfit which arises because of differences in lattice parameters and crystal structure leads to dense structures of interfacial dislocations and coherency stresses. During deformation stress induced structural changes of misfitting interfaces occur. These are closely related to the generation of perfect and twinning partial dislocations. At elevated temperatures diffusion controlled structural changes take place at an atomic level and seem to limit the structural stability of the material.
