The transmission of shear across the interfaces between lamellae of {gamma}-TiAl and {alpha}{sub 2}-Ti{sub 3}Al has been studied in the case of a room temperature deformed Ti-48Al alloy containing a significant proportion of the lamellar microstructure. The mechanisms of shear transmission due to dislocation slip has been studied using transmission electron microscopy. Dislocations with Burgers vectors given by b = 1/3<11{bar 2}0> are the only products of slip transmission from the {gamma}-TiAl phase to the {alpha}{sub 2}-Ti{sub 3}Al phase, and essentially no dislocations with b = 1/2<11{bar 2}6>, i.e., c-component dislocations, have been observed. Slip transmission has been associated with impingement of certain cross-lamellar twins, formed by deformation in {gamma}-TiAl, with the {alpha}{sub 2} lamellae. Dislocation based models for the slip transmission processes are proposed.
