NIOBIUM CONTAINING TITANIUM ALUMINIDE RENDERED CASTABLE BY BORON INOCULATIONS

A composition for providing improved castability in a gamma titanium aluminide is taught. The method involves adding inclusions of boron to the titanium aluminide containing higher concentrations of niobium. Boron additions are made in concentrations between 0.5 and 2 atomic percent, Fine grain equi...

Zusammenfassung:A composition for providing improved castability in a gamma titanium aluminide is taught. The method involves adding inclusions of boron to the titanium aluminide containing higher concentrations of niobium. Boron additions are made in concentrations between 0.5 and 2 atomic percent, Fine grain equiaxed microstructure is found from solidified melt. Property improvements are also achieved.
