Abstract:
A TiAl composition is prepared to have high strength and to have improved ductility by altering the atomic ratio of the titanium and aluminum to have what has been found to be a highly desirable effective aluminum concentration by addition of gallium according to the approximate formula Ti.sub.52-47 Al.sub.42-46 Ga.sub.3-7.
Abstract:
A tri-nickel aluminide base alloy composition is provided with a desirable combination of tensile strength and ductility. The composition is prepared to include boron dopant in combination with relatively low percentages of carbon for the high increase in strength achieved. The composition has an Ll.sub.2 of crystalline structure. It is prepared by rapid solidification at a cooling rate of at least 10.sup.3 .degree. C. per second.
Abstract:
A tri-nickel aluminide base composition is provided which has good ductility at all temperatures. The composition has a relatively high concentration of cobalt substituent and is doped by boron. It also has minor concentrations of at least two other substituent metals selected from the group consisting of niobium, hafnium, vanadium, molybdenum and zirconium.
Abstract:
Inhibition of grain size growth in a tri-nickel aluminide is achieved by additions of minor amounts of a metal selected from the group comprising rhenium and molybdenum.
