Role of interfaces in deformation and fracture of ordered intermetallics

Conference ·
OSTI ID:459671
While sub- and grain-boundaries are the primary dislocation sources in Ll{sub 2} alloys, yield and flow stresses are strongly influenced by the multiplication and exhaustion of mobile dislocations from the secondary sources. The concept of enhanced microplasticity at grain boundaries due to chemical disordering is well supported by theoretical modeling, but no conclusive direct evidence exist for Ni{sub 3}Al bicrystals. The strong plastic anisotropy reported in TiAl PST (polysynthetically twinned) crystals is attributed in part to localized slip along lamellar interfaces, thus lowering the yield stress for soft orientations. Calculations of work of adhesion suggest that, intrinsically, interfacial cracking is more likely to initiate on {gamma}/{gamma}-type interfaces than on the {alpha}{sub 2}/{gamma} boundary. 70 refs, 5 tabs, 5 figs.
