Abstract

The stacking-fault energy (SFE) has been incorporated in the calculation of the steady-state creep rate of commercially-pure titanium and Ti–(1–10) mol.% Al alloys. Their creep behaviour was found to follow power-law creep when the dependence of SFE on the aluminium content was taken into account in the calculation. The possible contribution due to the formation of short range ordered structure is also discussed, with the conclusion that the decrease in SFE with increasing aluminium addition is the major factor for the strengthening effect in α Ti–Al alloys.
