Phase stability and mechanical properties of irradiated Ti-Al-V intermetallic compounds

Sawai, Tomotsugu; Wakai, Eiichi  ; Jitsukawa, Shiro; Hishinuma, Akimichi

A Ti-35Al-10V alloy was fabricated from mechanically alloyed powder by a hot-isostatic-pressing. The microstructure consists of $$alpha$$2, $$gamma$$, and $$beta$$ phases. Specimens were irradiated in Japan Research Reactor No. 3 Modified (JRR-3M) up to 3.5 $$times$$ 10$$^{25}$$ n/cm$$^{2}$$ at 400$$^{circ}$$C and 600$$^{circ}$$C. Unirradiated tensile specimens showed total elongation of 3 to 15 % at 400$$^{circ}$$C-tests, while 400$$^{circ}$$C-irradiated or 600$$^{circ}$$C-irradiated specimens showed no plastic deformation before fracture. At 600$$^{circ}$$C tensile tests, unirradiated specimens showed total elongation of more than 60 %, while irradiated ones showed 10 % or less elongation. The low ductility of irradiated specimens suggests embrittlement due to phase decomposition, but electron diffraction using a transmission electron microscope results of irradiated specimens will be also discussed.
