Abstract
Research and applications of γ-base titanium aluminide alloys in Germany and Austria are reviewed. Special emphasis is given to the results of three major German national materials research projects: (i) gas turbine components, (ii) sheet and foil material, and (iii) automotive components. TiAl turbine blades and valves were successfully tested, and sheets are planned to be used in hypersonic applications. Powder metallurgy methods have been developed as alternative processing routes. Basic investigations on phase diagrams were carried out as a base for alloy development and high-resolution electron microscopic methods have led to a better understanding of the mechanical behaviour.
