Deformation microstructures in a 435{degree} <{bar 3}21> oriented polysynthetically twinned (PST) TiAl crystal deformed in compression at 3000 s{sup {minus}1} and 800 C was studied. Deformation of this PST crystal is characterized as follows: (1) Deformation of domains [III] and [IV] is dominated by 1/6[11{bar 2}](111) parallel twinning (twinning parallel to lamellar interfaces). Ordinary dislocations observed in these domains are found to be a complementary deformation mode. (2) Deformation of domains [II], [V] and [VI] is controlled by ordinary dislocation slip. Complementary deformation modes in these domains are ordinary dislocation slip, superdislocation slip and cross-twinning. (3) Domain [I] is not deformed after the specimen deforms up to {approximately}7% strain.
