Intermetallic titanium aluminides (Ti-Al) are a class of novel, light-weight materials with attractive mechanical properties at high temperatures, making them desirable for applications in the automotive and aerospace industries. [1,2] Because of the small ''deformation window'' in thermomechanical parameter space hot-working of g-TiAl alloys is a complex and difficult task and, therefore, isothermal forming processes are favored. In order to increase the deformation window novel Nb and Mo containing g-TiAl based alloys, so-called TNM TM alloys, were developed, which solidify via the atomic-species-disordered b-phase space and also exhibit an adjustable b-phase volume fraction. [3,4] The disordered b-phase which exhibits a bcc lattice provides a sufficient number of independent slip systems. It therefore improves the deformability at elevated temperatures. For detailed information on TNM alloys, e.g., development strategy, processing, microstructure, and mechanical properties the reader is referred to recent papers. [4][5][6][7] Due to high volume fractions of disordered b-phase at temperatures above the a-transus temperature TNM alloys can be hot-die forged under near conventional conditions, which means that conventional forging equipment with minor and inexpensive modifications can be used. [4,8] At service temperature (T < 750 8C), however, the b-phase shows an ordered B2-structure, designated b 0 . At room temperature, three major phases are present in the investigated TNM alloy: g-TiAl revealing an ordered tetragonal L1 0 -structure, a 2 -Ti 3 Al forming an ordered hexagonal DO 19 -structure and b with an ordered cubic B2-structure. Note, minor phases, such as borides, play also important metallurgical roles, but will not be considered in this study. At elevated temperatures, both a 2 and b 0 show disordering, i.e., a 2 ! a, a disordered hcpstructure and b 0 ! b, a disordered bcc-structure. Volume fractions and arrangement of these phases in the microstructure are decisive for hot-working and determine the mechanical properties in service. In situ studies provide real-time information on the phase composition and evolution from the bulk of a material, thus delivering important information for defining hot-working parameters and for designing effective heat treatments in multi-phase materials. Neutron diffraction performed on TiAl alloy is sensitive to the atomic order of these phases. In the present study, we have investigated the ordering/disordering of the b 0 /b and a 2 /a phases as well as the dissolution/formation of the g-phase atIn recent times, novel titanium aluminides containing the bcc b-phase at high temperatures are being developed for improved hot-working capabilities, however, predictions of the phase diagrams are merely uncertain. Here we present in-situ neutron studies, which are particularly sensitive to the atomic disorder in the ordered phases. Complementary laser scanning confocal microscopy is employed for in-situ microstructural investigations.932
