Presented are the results of study of effect of a complex alloying by Nb (3...4 %), Mo, Cr, Zr (up to 2 %), B, Y (up to 0.2 %) on mechanical properties of cast intermetallic γ-TiAl/α2-Ti3Al alloys, containing from 44.0 up to 48.5 % Al, produced by the method of vacuum arc remelting. The mechanical properties were determined at bending, uniaxial tension and compression tests. Vickers hardness and long-time hot hardness (high-temperature strength) were measured. The tests were carried out within the temperature interval of 20...800 °С. It was shown that the optimum properties during tension at 20 and 700 °С were demonstrated by the cast alloy Ti–47Al–5.5 (Nb, Cr, Mo); coefficient of elasticity was approximately 170 and 126 GPa, tensile strength was 770 and 644 MPa, ductility was 0.15 and 0.65 %, respectively. Crack resistance of this alloy is approximately 22.4 MPa∙m1/2, long-time hot hardness at 700 °С is 2.0 GPa, that twice increases the value of hardness of high-temperature titanium alloys. 20 Ref., 5 Tabl., 1 Fig.
