Ordered Intermetallic Alloys Based on
TiAl, Ti3Al and Composites are Attractive for
High-Temperature Applications

High-Strength Titanium Alloy and Titanium Aluminide Foils are Needed for Fabricating Composite Structures and Honeycombs for Advanced Aeronautical Materials

No US based Manufacturer of Titanium Aluminide FoilDue to Processing Issues and Economics

Processing of TiAl is Limited by its Ductility at Low Temperature and Affinity for Oxygen at High Temperature

An Innovative Approach to Intermetallic and Composite Sheet Fabrication

Low Cost Processing of Aluminide Advanced
