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.
