Abstract

The paper reports an electron microscope study of diffusion controlled deformation mechanisms in two-phase titanium aluminides which apparently cause the degradation of the strength properties at elevated temperatures. Climb velocities were analyzed in terms the critical vacancy supersaturation necessary for the operation of diffusion assisted dislocation sources. Particular emphasis was paid on structural changes occurring during long-term creep, which are apparently associated with dislocation climb.
