Deformation, titanium aluminides

The response of titanium-aluminum powder mixtures in a 3 1 molar ratio was investigated under the same shock-loading conditions as in the nickel aluminides. Such mixtures are especially interesting in that the shock impedances of the materials are approximately equal and both are relatively hard and difficult to deform. In addition to any chemical differences, such materials should prove to be difficult to mix with the shock conditions.
