The brittle-ductile transition in gamma-TiAl single crystals

Fracture tests in the temperature range 20-800°C were performed on single crystal γ-TiAl (Ti-54.7% Al) specimens. All tests were by four-point bending; the specimens were precracked by spark discharge so that Klc could be determined. Two orientations of specimens were used, chosen so that the influe...
