Abstract
TiAl has potential of being a strong, light-weight structural material. Nanocrystalline TiAl samples were synthesized by sputtering, particle condensation in inert gas and high-pressure compaction of the powder. Structure and chemical composition of individual grains were investigated by X-ray diffraction, conventional transmission electron microscopy, high resolution electron microscopy and micro-chemical analysis. The grains ranged from 3 to 35 nm in diameter, with most of them measuring less than 10 nm. No ordered intermetallic phase was found. The majority of the grains consisted of disordered hexagonal phase with a composition close to Ti-55 at.% Al.
