Titanium aluminide base allays are new materials of interest with exellent potential for high temperature structural applications. Several studies on the fracture toughness of these alloys have been reported and the beneficial effect of lamellar microstructure consisting of Ti3Al(α2) and TiAl(γ) has been detected. While these studies indicate such an enhancement of the fracture toughness is caused by micro-crack toughening, SEM observation alone is insufficient to clarify the fracture mechanism.

ABSTRACTIntermetallic titanium aluminides are one of the few classes of emerging materials that have the potential to be used in demanding high-temperature structural applications whenever specific strength and stiffness are of major concern. However, in order to effectively replace the heavier nickel-base superalloys currently in use, titanium aluminides must combine a wide range of mechanical property capabilities. Advanced alloy designs are tailored for strength, toughness, creep resistance, and environmental stability. Some of these concerns are addressed in the present paper through specific comments on the physical metallurgy and technology of gamma TiAl-base alloys. Particular emphasis is placed on recent developments of TiAl alloys with enhanced high-temperature capability.

X-ray fractography is a new method utilizing the X-ray diffraction technique to observe the fracture surface for the analysis of the micromechanisms and mechanics of fracture. X-ray residual stress has been confirmed to be a particularly useful parameter when studying the fracture surfaces of high strength steels. The method has been applied to the fracture surface of fracture toughness and fatigue specimens.

The residual stress left on the fracture surface is one of the important parameters in X-ray fractographic study. It has been used to analyze fracture mechanisms in fracture toughness and fatigue tests especially of high strength steels.In this paper, X-ray fractography was applied to brittle fracture of alumina (Al2O3) and zirconia (ZΓO2) ceramics.

Directionally solidified oxide ceramic eutectic composites with superior strength, oxidation resistance, creep resistance, structural stability and low sensitivity to crack at high temperature have aroused much attention in recent years, and various preparation techniques have been developed. In situ fabrication of ceramic eutectic composites by laser rapid solidification is a cheap and quick method compared to conventional multi-step fabrication methods of fiber reinforced composites for high temperature use. In this paper, Al2O3/YAG/ZrO2 ternary eutectics are rapidly prepared from melt by directional solidification using laser zone remelting technique, the growth characteristic and fracture toughness are investigated. The results show that: (1) Laser rapidly solidified Al2O3/YAG/ZrO2 ceramic eutectic in situ composite presents a fine interpenetrating network structure, in which Al2O3, YAG and ZrO2 phases are continually interconnected and finely coupled without pores, colonies and grain boundaries between interfaces. (2) Laser scanning rate and power density strongly affect the eutectic growth. With the processing parameters adjusted properly, the eutectic shows homogeneous and coupled lamellar microstructure. The characteristic dimensions of the microstructure are around 2~3 1m for Al2O3 and YAG phases, and around 0.2~1 1m for ZrO2 phases, respectively. (3) The hardness and fracture toughness of the rapidly solidified Al2O3/YAG/ZrO2 eutectic are 16.7 GPa and 8.0 MPa.m1/2, respectively.

In order to research the toughening effects of carbon nanotubes on 3Y-ZrO2 via different moulding methods. 3Y-ZrO2 and 3Y-ZrO2 with two kind of carbon nanotubes were prepared by compression moluding forming and gel-casting. And all of the green bodies were sintering at 1600°C in high temperature furnace. The X-ray diffraction and density of sintered bodies, microstructural of fracture surface and fracture toughness were characterized and analyzed. Results shown that gel-casting is better than compression about toughening 3Y-ZrO2 by carbon nanotubes. For gel-casting, the density is nearly the same and fracture toughness has been improved which is form 5.17MPa·m1/2 to 5.63 MPa·m1/2. For compression moulding forming, the density was reduced by the aggregation of carbon nanotubes. The fracture toughness can’t improve by carbon nanotubes.
