A method of adding boron to a tungsten, or tantalum, containing titanium aluminide alloy to form a boride dispersion in the tungsten, or tantalum, containing titanium aluminide. A molten tungsten, or tantalum, containing titanium aluminide alloy is formed and tungsten, or tantalum, boride is added to the molten tungsten, or tantalum, containing titanium aluminide alloy to form a molten mixture. The molten mixture is cooled and solidified to form a tungsten, or tantalum, containing titanium aluminide alloy having a uniform dispersion of tungsten, or tantalum, boride particles substantially without the formation of clusters of tungsten, or tantalum, boride. The titanium aluminide alloy comprises between 0.5 at % and 2.0 at % boron.
