Stress and temperature change creep deformation in polycrystalline and polysynthetically twinned Ti-47Al-2Nb-2Cr
- Michigan State Univ., East Lansing, MI (United States). Dept. of Materials Science and Mechanics
Stress change and temperature change creep tests were conducted on investment cast and HIPed near-{gamma} Ti-47Al-2Nb-2Cr alloy (in the duplex microstructure), and on polysynthetically twinned (PST) crystals prepared from the same alloy. Initial results of shear-compression creep on the PST crystal and polycrystals are compared with data from tensile creep tests. Specimens were deformed at 760--808 C (1,400--1,480 F) at strain rates near 10{sup {minus}7} s{sup {minus}1}. The PST crystal was cut so that {l_brace}111{r_brace} lamellar planes were parallel to the 45{degree} axis in a compression-shear fixture and with {l_angle}110{r_angle} directions parallel to the principle resolved shear stress. Both specimens exhibited normal transients. The PST crystal exhibited an activation energy of about 150 kJ/mol and a stress exponent of n{approx}5, with are different from values obtained from the polycrystal deformed under similar conditions (260 kJ/mol, n{approx}3). These data are discussed in terms of current understanding of creep deformation in the literature.
