The effects of the microstructure and the strain rate on the room temperature tensile properties of Ti 47Al 2Cr(at%) with fully lamellar microstructures were investigated. It is shown that the room temperature tensile strength and ductility increase with the decrease of colony size and lamellar spacing. The room temperature tensile strength increases with the increase of strain rate. The room temperature ductility of low ductility alloy is not sensitive to strain rate, but the ductility of high ductility alloy is sensitive and increases with the increase of the strain rate.
