Addition of ternary and quaternary alloying elements at levels between one and three atomic percent increase the room temperature ductility of Ti-48Al (at%) based titanium aluminides. In this investigation the deformation characteristics of Ti-48Al-2X (X = Cr, Mn) alloys at temperatures of 1,200 C to 1,300 C and strain rates of 10{sup {minus}3}s{sup {minus}1} to 10{sup {minus}1}s{sup {minus}1} were studied and compared with the deformation characteristics of Ti-48Al using the same conditions. Three titanium aluminide alloys with target compositions of Ti-48Al, Ti-48Al-2Cr, and Ti-48Al-2Mn (at%) were induction skull melted and cast into 69.85 mm. diameter ingots. The cast ingots were hot isostatically pressed (HIPed) at 103.5 MPa, 1,177 C for 4 hours to close casting porosity and homogenize the alloy microstructure and composition. Cylindrical test specimens 10 mm dia by 15 mm height were excised by EDM from the ingot and were subjected to isothermal compression testing in air at 1,200--1,300 C and the effective strain rates of 10{sup {minus}3}--10{sup {minus}1}s{sup {minus}1}.
