Abstract
The isothermal constant-strain-rate compression behaviours between 900 and 1200-degrees-C and between 10(-1) and 10(-1) s-1 of near gamma-Ti Al alloys containing Cr or W are compared. At low strains the strain r ate sensitivity exponent of TiAl + Cr is higher than that for TiAl + W , but the latter exhibits less cracking after compression to about 0.7 5 true strain. This is related to the larger area fraction of beta pha se in TiAl + W, preventing coarsening of dynamically recrystallized gr ains during compression.
