Small punch (SP) tests on single grained titanium aluminide (Ti-48 at. % Al) specimens with 12{degree} and 80{degree} lamellar orientations with respect to the tensile stress axis were conducted at 1,123 K in air. Brittle cracks readily extended through the thickness in the 80{degree} lamellar structure. In a SP specimen with the 12{degree} lamellar structure load-interrupted at the strain of 0.43%, surface cracks with the depth of 15--25 {mu}m were formed along lamellar boundaries. Local oxidation behavior on partly sputtered surfaces in the load-interrupted 12{degree} lamellar specimen was examined using scanning Auger microprobe (SAM). Oxygen enriched regions were observed near cracks and some lamellar layers. The mechanisms of high temperature oxygen-induced cracking are discussed in terms of the local oxidation near cracks and lamellar boundaries.
