Process for producing TiAl intermetallic compound-base alloy materials

This invention relates to TiAl based intermetallic compound alloy and process for producing; the object of this invention is to improve high temperature deformability. The alloy comprises basic components: Ti.sub.y AlCr.sub.x, wherein 1%.ltoreq.X.ltoreq.5%, 47.5%.ltoreq.Y.ltoreq.52%, and X+2Y.gtoreq.100%, and comprises a fine-grain structure with a .beta. phase precipitated on a grain boundary of equiaxed .gamma. grain having grain size of less than 30 .mu.m, and possessing a superplasticity such that the strain rate sensitivity factors (m value) is 0.40 or more and tensile elongation is 400% or more tested at 1200.degree. C. and a strain rate of 5.times.10.sup.-4 S.sup.-1.

Process for producing .gamma. and .beta. dual phase TiAl based

A Ti-Al intermetallic compound is prepared from a mixture of about 40 to 52 atomic % Ti, about 48 to 60 atomic % Al, and 10 to 3000 atomic ppm of at least one of P, As, Se, or Te. The mixture is melted and then solidified. The solidified product is annealed to form a uniform microstructure.

Process for the preaparation of a Ti-Al intermetallic compound

A Ti--Al intermetallic compound has a compressibility of at least 25% at room temperature and a superior high temperature oxidation resistance and consists essentially of about 40 to 52 atomic percent of Ti, about 48 to 60 atomic percent of Al, and 10 to 1000 atomic ppm of at least one of P, As, Se, or Te.
