Abstract

Microcantilevers were machined from a single $\gamma(TiAl)-\alpha_2(Ti_3Al)$ lamellae colony of a polycrystalline commercial Ti-45Al-2Mn-2Nb sample using the focussed ion beam. The long axis of the microcantilevers is perpendicular to the lamellar interface with the notch prepared in the same γ lamella. Bending test results demonstrated good repeatability and the fracture stress intensity factor of individual γ lamella was measured to be $3.1 \pm 0.2 MPa\ m^{1/2}$. $(\overline{1}\overline{1}1)[\overline{1}\overline{1}\overline{2}]$ twinning ahead of the notch (crack) tip plays a key role in the crack initiation. TEM analysis shows that the interaction of twinning with the lamellar interface leads to interfacial cracking and contributes to the work-hardening observed.
