Advanced Heat-Resistant TiAl (Nb,Cr,Zr)-Based Intermetallics with the Stabilized β(Ti)-Phase

Abstract

The paper represents a brief review of authors' research results and publications in the area of materials science and engineering of innovated lightweight heat-resistant TiAl-based intermetallic alloys. The system TiAl(Nb,Cr,Zr) under development is being considered as the advanced basis for the creation of TiAl-intermetallics of 3rd generation (TNM) TiAl(Nb,Mo)-like alloys, those being the most promising nowadays for an application in aviation jet engines design. This research is implemented within the frame of Federal Targeted Program for R&D in Priority Areas of Development of the Russian Scientific and Technological
