Misfit Dislocations at TiAl/Ti3Al-Phase Boundaries

These papers describe the arragement of misfit dislocations at the TiAl/Ti3Al phase boundaries which appear in lamellar microstructure. The Burgers vector and also the line vector was analyzed for four different alloys with different content of Si and Cr.

The most ductile alloy had screw dislocations at the interface. The density of the dislocations is much higher than necessary to compensate the misfit between both phases.

The occurence of screw dislocations can be explained by theoretical considerations and is a nice example of the special interface structure occuring at interfaces between hexagonal lattices in basal plane orientation and [111] planes of tetragonal (pseudocubic) lattices.
