Popis: The current understanding of the metallurgy of the orthorhombic alloys in the TiAlNb system is reviewed with emphasis on tensile and creep properties of ternary alloys. It is shown that increasing the Nb content of alloys from 15 to 27 at% at a constant Al level significantly increases both the tensile and creep properties of equiaxed as well as lath structures, while small changes in Al content have a large effect on creep. For a given alloy composition, the amount of B2(β) phase and its distribution and the scale of O laths influences tensile properties, while creep properties depend on the volume fraction of equiaxed α 2 O phase present in the structure as well as the size of O laths.
