Abstract
AbstractAlloys based on the intermetallic compound γ-TiAl are rapidly being developed for elevated temperature structural applications. In order to produce an alloy, by either I/M or P/M techniques, with useful engineering properties, it is necessary to control the microstructure by heat treatment and/or hot working. By combining consolidation with the heat treatment, unique microstructures can be produced in powder metallurgy (P/M) materials. The effect of processing on the microstructures and tensile and creep properties are discussed.
