The relationships of microstructure and properties of a fully lamellar TiAl alloy

The relationship between the yield strength and microstructure parameters of a fully lamellar TiAl alloy has been studied systematically. The grain size and the lamellar spacing were chosen as microstructure parameters. The experimental results showed that the yield strength increases with the decrease of grain size and more obviously with the decrease of the lamellar spacing. The relationship between yield strength and grain size and lamellar spacing can be approximately described by Hall–Petch relation.
