Numerical indicators and 3D images of elastic anisotropy show γ-TiAl is anisotropic.
γ-TiAl exhibits high anisotropy in shear but small anisotropy in compressibility.
For γ-TiAl, slowness surfaces and group velocity surfaces are all nonspherical.
Anisotropy is highest for ST mode, and then followed by FT mode and L mode.
Only transverse phonons cause caustics for γ-TiAl.
