TiAl with between 0 and 20 volume percent (v%)Ti5Si3 was produced by reactive sintering of cold pressed compacts of elemental Ti, Al and Si powder mixtures at 700C for 15 minutes in vacuum. The results show that adding Si to Ti and Al reduces the swelling associated with reactive sintering of TiAl, as composites containing more than 5 v%Ti5Si3 densified during reactive sintering. However, composites containing more than 10v% Ti5Si3 did not retain their shape during processing, and the TiAl+20v% Ti5Si3 composite completely melted during the sintering process. The formation of pre-reaction liquid phase and the increase in adiabatic flame temperature with simultaneous compound formation resulted in the melting that occurred and the enhanced densification (minimization of swelling) during reactive sintering of the insitu composites.
