Summary:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method of processing compositions containing titanium and aluminum, especially titanium aluminide intermetallic compounds (TiAl intermetallic bonded material) based on the TiAl (gamma) intermetallic compound.SOLUTION: A method entails processing steps that include a hot isostatic pressing (HIP) cycle and a heat treatment cycle that can be performed in a single vessel. TiAl intermetallic compounds processed in this manner preferably exhibit a duplex microstructure containing equiaxed and lamellar morphologies.
