Fracture toughness vs. temperature of the cubic (L1{sub 2}), Mn- modified titanium trialuminide (based on Al{sub 3}Ti) was investigated in air at the temperature range up to 1,000 C. Toughness calculated from the maximum load exhibits a broad peak (K{sub Q} {approx} 7--10 MPam{sup 0.5}) at the 200--500 C temperature range and then decreases with increasing temperature, reaching a room temperature value of {approximately}4.5 MPam{sup 0.5} at 1,000 C. However, the work of fracture ({gamma}{sub WOF}, J/m{sup 2}) and the stress intensity factor calculated from it (K{sub 1WOF}) increases continuously with increasing temperature. Fracture modes exhibit a gradual transition from transgranular cleavage at room temperature to predominantly intergranular failure at the 800--1,000 C range.
