Abstract

Microsample test specimens of single crystalline γ-Ti 55.5at%Al oriented near the [001], and [-110] crystal axes have been deformed in tension and compression at 973K. From these experiments, measurements of the 0.2% offset flow stress have been made as a function of temperature, crystal orientation and sense of the applied load. A measurable violation of Schmid's law was observed and a significant tension/compression asymmetry has been observed at this temperature for the above listed orientations. Single-cycle loading experiments designed to measure the tension/compression asymmetry of the yield strength on the same sample have been conducted along the ∼[-110] and [001] orientations. The flow strength measurements from the specimens, which underwent the fully reversed cyclic-loading experiment, fall near those of the monotonically loaded microsamples deformed at the same temperature, which suggests that the same deformation mode was active in both tension and compression.
