Tensile creep properties have been studied in Ti-50mol%Al intermetallics prepared by ingot metallurgy. Four types of structure were obtained in as-cast material (C), homogenized material (CA), isothermally forged material (F) and forged-and-recrystallized material (FA). Structural effects was investigated by comparing creep properties such as minimum creep rates, fracture strains and creep life among C, CA, F, and FA materials. Creep characteristics were strongly dependent upon the structure.
