To explore the macro-fracture mechanism of a friction welded joint between TiAl alloy and GH3039 superalloy, the micromechanical properties of intermediate phases at the joint interface are characterized and the relationship between the macro-fracture and micro-fracture of the joint is established. The indentation technique has been employed to calculate the nano-hardness and fracture toughness of the intermediate phases. The dynamic in-situ tensile test in SEM has been applied to observe the initiation and propagation process of cracks at the interface. It has been found that Al 3 NiTi 2 and AlNi 2 Ti have the highest nano-hardness and elastic recovery rates, while TiAl and GH3039 base metals have the lowest nano-hardness and elastic recovery rates. This indicates that the harder the materials, the more prone they are to elastic deformation. Nevertheless, the fracture toughness of Al 3 NiTi 2 and AlNi 2 Ti are the two lowest, which were 1.7 MPa·m 1/2 and 2.7 MPa·m 1/2 , respectively. The cracks sprouted from Al 3 NiTi 2 and AlNi 2 Ti and then spread throughout the entire intermediate phase zone. In other words, the fracture mainly happened in these two phase layers. It has been concluded that Al 3 NiTi 2 and AlNi 2 Ti were the two weakest phases at the interface and their poor fracture toughness results in low joint strength.
