Titanium aluminide

It finds use in several applications including aircraft, jet engines, sporting equipment and automobiles.

Gamma TiAl has excellent mechanical properties and oxidation and corrosion resistance at elevated temperatures (over 600 °C), which makes it a possible replacement for traditional Ni based superalloy components in aircraft turbine engines.

[6][citation needed] An alternate pathway for production of the gamma TiAl blades for the GEnx and GE9x engines using additive manufacturing is being explored.

The retail price of this watch at £37,240 was nine times that of the basic Seamaster and comparable to the top of the range platinum-cased version with a moonphase complication.

Despite the fact that a lot of toughening strategies have been developed to improve their toughness, machining quality is still a difficult problem to tackle.
