The ternary alloy, Ti - 49 at% Al -2 at. % W, was produced using Rotating Electrode Powder (REP) compacted by hot extrusion. The tensile properties of this alloy (strength, ductility and fracture mode) were studied from room temperature to 900{degrees}C. Constant load creep properties were measured from 700 to 900{degrees}C and analyzed using conventional power law equations to calculate the stress exponent and activation energy. These parameters were approximately 4 and 400 KJ/mole respectively. TEM examination showed that the W was held in solid solution during the tensile and creep deformation when the material was tested in the as-extruded' condition. These results are interpreted as evidence for solid solution strengthening of the TiAl matrix by the W solute. 13 refs., 3 figs., 4 tabs.
