Abstract
The invention relates to a rapidly solidified silicon-based alloy, containing 2-40% by weight Al, 2-45% by weight Ti, 0-10% by weight of one or more of the elements V, Cr, Fe, Mn, Ni, Co, 0-1% by weight of one or more of the elements B, Sr and P, the rest, except for impurities, being silicon in an amount of at least 35% by weight. The invention further relates to a method for producing such alloys where a molten alloy is provided and is solidified at a rate of solidification of at least 10.sup.3 .degree. C./second. Consolidated products are produced from the silicon-based alloy by forming articles from powdered alloy and consolidating the formed articles.
