Abstract
The technique of centrifugal SHS was used to fabricate an alloy with a composition close that of commercially available alloy 48Ti–48Al–2Nb–2Cr by using Ti–Al–Nb2O5–Cr2O3–CaO2 thermite mixtures. The synthesized alloy exhibited a uniform structure and a composition close to that of commercial prototype. Its main drawback is the presence of undesired admixtures of O, N, P, Ca, C, and Si. Further efforts should be oriented on diminishing a contamination level.
