Abstract

Although plagued by a lack of ductility, titanium aluminides are among the most promising intermetallics under development. Significant improvements in ductility may be obtained from nanostructured intermetallics. Nanosize particles of TiAl3 have been prepared by heat-treatment of chemically synthesized precursor (compound 1). Nanosized TiAl3 has been characterized by chemical analysis, XRD, EDS, NMR, and HREM.
