The development of temperature gradients and thermal stresses during the heating of large ingots has been investigated with special reference to the selection of heating schedules for brittle intermetallic materials such as titanium aluminides. A 1-D analytical (series) solution for radial temperature transients was used in conjunction with an elasticity analysis to determine the maximum thermal stresses that would be generated during ingot heating. The temperature gradients and stresses were seen to be strongly dependent on Fourier and Biot Numbers. In addition, finite element method simulations incorporating end effects and variations of thermal and elastic properties with temperature were performed and compared to the analytical results. Comparison of the predicated thermal stresses and actual ingot heating observations suggest that cracking is controlled by a maximum normal stress criterion.
