Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) studies of dislocation structures in single crystals of TiAl containing 54.5 or 54.7 at% Al deformed at different temperatures revealed the occurrence of slip on {1/2}[{l{underscore}angle}112]{l{underscore}brace}111{r{underscore}brace} at room temperature and near the peak of the yield stress anomaly (YSA). Measurements of the corresponding yield stresses revealed the existence of a YSA for this type of slip. Weak-beam TEM showed the presence of locks at room temperature for 30{degree} dislocations and at high temperatures for edge dislocations. Both types of locks involve dissociation on two intersecting {l{underscore}brace}111{r{underscore}brace} type planes, driven by reduction in elastic strain energy. The edge dislocation dissociation at high temperatures involves both climb and glide.
