Abstract

Abstract Single-crystal elastic contents of Ti3Al have been measured from 3.3 to 290K by a rectangular parallelepiped resonance method. The elastic anisotropy of Ti3Al is similar to, but slightly larger than, that of pure Ti. The values of the measured elastic constants are compared with those calculated for pure Ti stressed to such an extent that it has the same lattice constants as Ti3Al. The difference is interpreted as indicating the existence of directional bonding in the compound.
