Abstract
A study of the high-temperature deformation behavior of a binary α 2+γTi-47 at. pct Al-3 at. pct Cr alloy was undertaken. The alloy was produced by induction melting and exhibited a structure of coarse columnar grains oriented in the radial direction. After a solution treatment at 1653 K for 3600 seconds and aging at 1223 K for 28,800 seconds, a nearly lamellar structure was formed. Deformation behavior was investigated by compression-strain-rate-change tests at strain rates ranging from 10−6 to 10−3 s−1 and temperatures ranging from 1073 to 1373 K. This alloy shows at low temperature/high stress a stress exponent of about 5. The deformation behavior is explained in this regimen by a dislocation climb mechanism, which includes a threshold stress. Finally, at the lowest stress levels and highest temperatures of testing, a stress exponent of about 3 is observed, which suggests that deformation is controlled by the viscous glide of dislocations.
