High-density deformation nanotwins significantly strengthen TiAl-based alloys, but usually result in a reduction in fracture toughness for most structural materials. It is necessary to investigate the benefits of high-density deformation nanotwins for improving the fracture toughness of TiAl-based alloys. In this study, the fracture toughness of two heat-treated Ti-45.5Al-4Cr-2.5Nb alloys with a favorable twinning deformation mechanism is compared with that of the unannealed alloy. It is found that the heat-treated alloys exhibit higher fracture toughness than the unannealed alloy. Shear ligaments and slip bands are the main toughening mechanisms for the heat-treated alloys, which are closely related to the enhanced plastic deformability of lamellar structures. Moreover, the increase in (B2 + gamma)-coupled structures has a negative effect on the toughening of the investigated alloys. High-density deformation nanotwins improve the fracture toughness of TiAl-based alloys by enhancing their fracture strength and plastic deformability, while reducing their work-hardening exponent.
High-density deformation nanotwins markedly strengthen TiAl-based alloys; however, the improvement in strength generally leads to a reduction in fracture toughness for most structural materials. It is, therefore, necessary to investigate the benefits of high-density deformation nanotwins for the improvement in fracture toughness of TiAl-based alloys. Herein, the fracture toughness of two Ti-45.5Al-4Cr-2.5Nb alloys with a favorable deformation mechanism of twinning (prepared by annealing the continuous casting (C. C.) alloy at 1250 degrees C and 1270 degrees C for different durations, respectively) is investigated and compared with that of the unannealed continuous casting (C. C.) alloy, in terms of room-temperature (RT) tensile properties and microstructures. It is found that the two heat-treated Ti-45.5Al-4Cr-2.5Nb alloys exhibits a higher fracture toughness than the C. C. alloy. Shear ligaments and slip bands are the main toughening mechanisms for the two heat-treated alloys; their generation is closely related to the enhancement in the plastic deformability of lamellar structures. In addition, the increase in (B2 + gamma)-coupled structures is found to impose a negative effect on the toughening of the investigated alloys. High-density deformation nanotwins favor the improvement in fracture toughness of TiAl-based alloys by improving their fracture strength and plastic deformability, while decreasing their work-hardening exponent.
