Method for producing an impeller of an exhaust gas turbocharger and tial alloy for an impeller

Abstract

A method for producing an impeller of an exhaust gas turbocharger made of TiAl alloy by centrifugal casting, includes providing a TiAl alloy consisting of titanium, 43.7 at-% to 47.5 at-% aluminum, 1.9 at-% to 8.7 at-% niobium, 0.3 at-% to 0.6 at-% carbon, and at most 2.0 at-% others, heating a casting mold used for the centrifugal casting to a casting temperature of 500° C. to 800° C.; introducing the TiAl alloy into the heated casting mold; accelerating the casting mold about a rotation axis spaced apart from the casting mold with an angular acceleration to a rotational speed within an acceleration time period as soon as the TiAl has reached the casting temperature, wherein a rotary axis of the produced impeller is arranged perpendicular to the rotation axis during the centrifugal casting.
