Abstract: A method for the production of a highly stressable component from an ?+?-titanium aluminide alloy for reciprocating-piston engines and gas turbines, especially for aircraft engines, characterized in that the alloy used is a TiAl alloy with the following composition (in atom %): 40-48% Al; 2-8% Nb; 0.1-9% of at least one ?-phase-stabilizing element selected from Mo, V, Ta, Cr, Mn, Ni, Cu, Fe, Si; 0-0.5% B; and a remainder of Ti and smelting-related impurities, wherein the deformation is carried out in a single stage starting from a preform with a volume distribution varying over the longitudinal axis, wherein the component is deformed isothermally in the ?-phase region at a logarithmic deformation rate of 0.01-0.5 1/s.

Abstract: A method for producing a preform from an ?+? titanium aluminide alloy for producing a component with high load-bearing capacity for piston engines and gas turbines, in particular aircraft engines, by forging a blank, wherein the blank held in a manipulator and moved by the manipulator is subjected to merely partial forming by open-die forging by an open-die forging tool.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing components with a high load capacity from ?+? TiAl alloys, especially for producing components for aircraft engines or stationary gas turbines. According to this method, enclosed TiAl blanks of globular structure are preformed by isothermal primary forming in the ?+?? or ? phase area. The preforms are then shaped out into components with a predeterminable contour by means of at least one isothermal secondary forming process, with dynamic recrystallization in the ?+?? or ? phase area. The microstructure is adjusted by solution annealing the components in the ? phase area and then cooling them off rapidly.
