Abstract

Gamma alloys, based on the gamma titanium aluminide (y-TiAl) intermetallic compound, are emerging as a revolutionary engineering material for high-temperature structural applications. This article discusses the historical background as well as the status and future prospects of gamma alloy technology in the areas of alloy development/ design, process development, and applications.
