Aw. James et al., MICROMECHANISMS OF FRACTURE AND FATIGUE IN TI3AL BASED AND TIAL BASEDINTERMETALLICS, Journal de physique. IV, 3(C7), 1993, pp. 411-421
Micromechanisms of fracture and fatigue crack growth resistance in spe
cific Ti3Al based and TiAl based intermetallics are reviewed. Effects
df test temprature, environment and microstructure on crack growth res
istance are considered in detail for several Ti3Al and TiAl based inte
rmetallic systems under development. The implications of these studies
for the structural reliability of these materials is also addressed b
riefly,
