A γ-based TiAl alloy with equiaxed microstructure and fine grain size has been studied to analyze the deformation mechanisms responsible for the creep behavior. The microstructures produced by creep and high temperature deformation have been examined by TEM to obtain information about the different aspects characterizing the primary and secondary stages of creep. Mechanical twinning has been confirmed to occur in a fraction of the grains that never exceeds 50% while 1/2 ‹110› dislocations are active within all the γ grains. The twins are only responsible for a small amount of strain, but they lead to a subdivision of the microstructure and determine (directly or indirectly) the hardening process observed during the primary stage of creep. We have proposed that during the secondary stage the creep rate is determined by the unblocking of pinned dislocations by processes such as a pipe diffusion or cross slip that allow thermally activated glide of 1/2‹110› dislocations on (001) planes.

The present work was undertaken to shed additional light on the globular-α microstructure produced during FSP of Ti-6Al-4V. To this end, the electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) technique was employed to characterize the crystallographic aspects of such microstructure. In contrast to the previous reports in the literature, neither the texture nor the misorientation distribution in the α phase were random. Although the texture was weak, it showed a clear prevalence of the P1 and C-fiber simple-shear orientations, thus providing evidence for an increased activity of the prism-<a> and pyramidal <c+a> slip systems. In addition, the misorientation distribution exhibited a crystallographic preference of 60° and 90° boundaries. This observation was attributed to a partial α→β→α phase transformation during/following high-temperature deformation and the possible activation of mechanical twinning.

In this study, high-temperature deformation behavior of newly developed beta-gamma TiAl alloys was investigated in the context of the dynamic-materials model (DMM). Processing maps representing the efficiency of power consumption for microstructure evolution were constructed utilizing the results of compression test at temperatures ranging from 1000oC to 1200oC and strain rates ranging from 10-4/s to 102/s and Artificial Neural Network simulation method. With the help of processing map and microstructural analysis, the optimum processing condition for the betagamma TiAl alloy was investigated. The role of β phase was also discussed in this study.
