Ml. Dupont et al., EVOLUTION OF TEXTURE AND MICROSTRUCTURE O F GAMMA ALPHA(2) BIPHASE TITANIUM AS FUNCTION OF HEAT-TREATMENTS/, Journal de physique. IV, 6(C2), 1996, pp. 235-240
Titanium aluminides are good candidates for aeronautical applications,
but their low ductility penalizes these alloys. The present work deal
s with the texture characterization that influences mechanical propert
ies. The texture is a {Ill}<uvw> fiber texture, the sharpness of which
increases with the temperature of heat treatments. gamma monolithic g
rains have also the same texture.
