Abstract: Alloys based on titanium aluminides, such as ? (TiAl) which may be made through the use of casting or powder metallurgical processes and heat treatments. The alloys contain titanium, 38 to 46 atom % aluminum, and 5 to 10 atom % niobium, and they contain composite lamella structures with B19 phase and ? phase there in a volume ratio of the B19 phase to ? phase 0.05:1 and 20:1.

Abstract: The invention concerns alloys made through the use of melting and powdered metallurgical techniques on the basis of titanium aluminides with an alloy composition of Ti-z Al-y Nb where 44.5 Atom % ?z?47 Atom %, 44.5 Atom % ?z?45.5 Atom %, and 5 Atom % ?y?10 Atom % with possibly the addition of B and/or C at a content between 0.05 Atom % and 0.8 Atom %. Said alloy is characterized in that it contains a molybdenum (Mo) content ranging between 0.1 Atom % to 3.0 Atom %.

Abstract: The invention proposes a process for producing components (10) or semi-finished products which contain intermetallic titanium aluminide alloys, which includes the following process steps: rough contouring of a plurality of plate-like bodies (11) so as to correspond to a desired final shape of the component (10) or semi-finished product, some of these plate-like bodies or all the plate-like bodies consisting of titanium aluminide alloys; carrying out surface-to-surface joins between the plurality of plate-like bodies (11) stacked on top of one another so as to form an overall body (10); and forming the desired final shape of the overall body (10). The invention also concerns a component, in particular for jet engines, which is produced using this process.

Abstract: In an alloy based on titanium aluminides, metal droplets are obtained from a titanium aluminide metal melt. The metal droplets are enriched with halogens resulting in halogen-enriched titanium aluminide metal droplets. The alloy is molded from the halogen-enriched titanium aluminide metal droplets by, preferably hot isostatic, pressing. Titanium aluminide powder can be heated in a container, for a predetermined period of time, wherein an atmosphere, enriched with halogens, is or will be provided in the container, so that a halogen-enriched titanium aluminide metal powder is formed, or metal droplets are formed from a titanium aluminide metal melt. The metal droplets are enriched with halogens so that halogen-enriched titanium aluminide metal droplets result. Subsequently, the alloy is molded from the halogen-enriched titanium aluminide metal droplets.

Abstract: In a method for the treatment of metallic materials especially for the consolidation of the texture of the materials, a blank of the metallic material is heated to a transformation temperature and the blank is then subjected to twisting preferably while, at the same time, being compressed. In this way, the texture can be refined to a large degree in a simple and inexpensive manner.
