Method to produce improved property titanium aluminide articles

摘要

A method for producing titamium alloy articles having a desired microstructure which comprises the steps of: (a) providing a prealloyed gamma titanium aluminide alloy powder; (b) filling a suitable die or mold with the powder; (c) consolidating the powder in the filled mold at a pressure of 30 Ksi or greater and at a temperature of about 70 to 95 percent of the alpha-2+gamma eutectoid temperature of the alloy, in degrees C.
