Titanium intermetalides (TiAl and Ti3 Al) and alloys on theirs bases applies in air — and spacetechnology and automobile industry. Physical and mechanical properties there alloys is better, then at classical Ti — or Ni — alloys, that are utilized in aeroplanes and rocets. Alloys, based on TiAl and Ti3Al, are made with utilization vacuum — arc, plasma — arc, induction- garnisage, magnetoperating electroslag melting, electron — beam melting with intermediate capacity, electroslag melting in inert atmosphere under «active» fluxes with metallic calcium, induction melting in muchsectional crystallizator and cold crucible, argon — arc melting with unexpended tungsten electrode in copper watercooling crucible. For connection of the details, that were made from these alloys, there were used welding by pressure, contact, electron — beam, diffusion welding. Alloys, based on titanium aluminide, have essential defects — high brittleness and low plasticity, viscosity and resistance thermal impact strength. Autors a lot of articles explaines these descriptions by structural special features of titanium aluminides and alloys on their bases, but does not consider possibilities of the influence by oxygen nitrogen, hydrogen admixtures. In literature information about methods of determination gaseous admixtures (O, N, H) contents in titanium aluminides and alloys on their bases are absented. Methods of determination oxygen, nitrogen, hyd­rogen contents in titanium aluminides on ana­lysers TC436, RO316, TN114, RH402 are created. Parameters of these methods are described in this article (temperatures of heating on graphite crucibles, times, masses of analytical samples).

Additive manufacturing technologies are becoming more and more important for the implementation of efficient process chains. Due to the possibility of a near net shape, manufacturing time for finish-machining can significantly be reduced. Especially for conventionally hard to machine materials like gamma titanium aluminides (γ-TiAl), this manufacturing process is very attractive. Nevertheless, for most applications, a rework of these generative components is necessary. Independently of the mechanical material properties, electrochemical machining is one promising technology of machining these materials. Major advantages of electrochemical machining are its process-specific characteristics of high material removal rates in combination with almost no tool wear. But electrochemical machining results are highly dependent on the microstructure of the material regarding the surface roughness. Therefore, this article deals with research on electrochemical machining of electron beam melted γ-TiAl TNB-V5 compared to a casted form of this alloy. The difference between the specific removal rates as a function of current density is investigated using electrolytes based on sodium nitrate and sodium chloride. Moreover, the dissolving behavior of the electron beam melted and casted structure is analyzed by potentiostatic polarization curves. The surface roughness is heavily dependent on a homogeneous dissolution behavior of the microstructure. Thus, the mean roughness as a function of current density is investigated as well as rim zone analyses of the different structures.

This paper gives an account of research which has been carried out on electron-beam brazed specimens made of high-Niobium γ-titanium aluminides. The microstructure in the brazing area of two different brazes (TiCuNi and Ni 102) is explained and analysed via scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy.

Actual alloy and process development for high temperature turbine applications in the aerospace sector is strongly aimed at reaching the high demands on reduction of CO2 emissions responsible for the green house effect. Based on weight reduction the main objective resides in improving engine performance and efficiency. Last generation intermetallic titanium aluminides (γ TiAl) have a big potential to reach this goals. γ TiAl is nevertheless a very demanding material requiring very sophisticated processing routes. Access has developed a casting route for production of high quality γ TiAl components based on skull induction melting (SIM) and centrifugal investment casting. Although the feasibility of the technology has been already proven in earlier projects, it is still necessary to improve the process for series production of parts with the high quality standards required by the aerospace industry. With aid of a new developed centrifugal casting facility Access and its partners are conducting a comprehensive qualification process for the production of aerospace components, e.g. low pressure turbine blades. Basic issues comprising casting cluster design based on numerical simulation, process control and quality management are being addressed.

Gamma titanium aluminides are very interesting for their use in high-performance applications such as aircraft engines due to their low density, high stiffness and favorable high-temperature properties. However, the pronounced brittleness of these intermetallic alloys is a major challenge for their processing through conventional fabrication methods. Additive manufacturing by means of electron beam powder bed fusion (EB-PBF) significantly improves the processability of titanium aluminides due to the high preheating temperatures and facilitates complex components. The objective of this study was to determine a suitable processing window for EB-PBF of the TNM-B1 alloy (Ti-43.5Al-4Nb-1Mo-0.1B), using an increased aluminum content in the powder raw material to compensate for evaporation losses during the process. Design of experiments was used to evaluate the effect of beam current, scan speed, focus offset, line offset and layer thickness on porosity. Top surface roughness was assessed through laser scanning confocal microscopy. Scanning electron microscopy, electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) were used for microstructural investigation and to analyze aluminum loss depending on the volumetric energy density used in EB-PBF. An optimized process parameter set for achieving part densities of 99.9% and smooth top surfaces was derived. The results regarding microstructures and aluminum evaporation suggest a solidification via the β-phase.
