Abstract
An apparatus and a process for producing forged components composed of TiAl alloys, wherein a melt of a TiAl alloy is provided and is cast by horizontal centrifugal casting so as to produce at least one semifinished TiAl cast part and the semifinished TiAl cast part is converted by forging into a forged TiAl part.
Claims20
A process for producing a forged component of a TiAl alloy, wherein the process comprises casting a melt of the TiAl alloy by horizontal centrifugal casting to produce at least one semifinished TiAl cast part and forging the at least one semifinished TiAl cast part into a forged TiAl part.
An apparatus for the horizontal centrifugal casting of a semifinished TiAl part, wherein the apparatus comprises at least one permanent mold which can be rotated about a horizontal axis of rotation and at least one feeder which can project into the permanent mold to introduce a melt into the at least one permanent mold, the feeder being inductively heatable.
