  • High temperature TiAl.sub.2 -based ternary alloys
    Patent number: 5368660
    Abstract: Two phase, TiAl.sub.2 -based, ternary aluminides of iron, nickel and other transitional metals are disclosed. A transformation from the tetragonal crystal configurations of the TI--Al system to the face-centered cubic configurations of the TI--Al--Fe and TI--Al--Ni systems is attributed to the transitional elements substituting for titanium in the face-centered cubic crystal lattice of the titanium aluminides. The resulting alloys of the composition Ti.sub.30 M.sub.4 Al.sub.66 or Ti.sub.25 M.sub.9 Al.sub.66, including Ti.sub.30 Fe.sub.4 Al.sub.66 and Ti.sub.30 Ni.sub.4 Al.sub.66, are low density, high temperature, aluminum-rich alloys possessing desirable properties, including ductility.
