Abstract

Intermetallic γ-TiAl based alloys (”γ-alloys”) have a great potential to become important materials for advanced applications in aerospace, automotive and related industries. Research and development on γ-alloys have progressed significantly within the last decade. This research has led to a better understanding of the fundamental correlations between alloy composition and microstructure, processing behaviour and mechanical properties. This paper describes the progress in sheet rolling of γ-TiAl based alloys on industrial scale. Employing an advanced hot-rolling process sheets with lengths >1000 mm have been rolled. Furthermore, first results of foil rolling are presented. The mechanical properties of γ-TiAl sheet material with regard to processing route, alloy composition and microstructure are summarized and discussed. Sheet forming by means of superplastic forming and conventional metal forming techniques has successfully been conducted. Different joining techniques have been studied for γ-alloys including solid-state diffusion bonding. The oxidation resistance of γ-alloys is higher than that of Ti-alloys, however, for long-term applications at temperatures >700°C the need for reliable oxidation protective coatings is anticipated. Recent results of cyclic oxidation tests on coated γ-TiAl sheet are presented. Finally, the results of a stability test conducted on a γ-TiAl panel at 750°C are summarized.
