The <1126>(1121) pyramidal slip in Ti3Al shows the so-called yield stress anomaly. A marked change in dislocation configuration is observed in the temperature range concerned; dislocations observed at the lowest temperature of the range, −70°C, are ordinary pairs of edge c+a/2 superpartial dislocations coupled by antiphase boundaries (APBs) while at the other extreme temperature 700°C, pairs of unlike superpartials coupled by APBs are observed. The change in dislocation configurations is interpreted as resulting from immobilization of edge c+a/2 superpartial segments by climb dissociation onto the basal plane.
