The mechanical properties of a rapidly quenched Ti2AlNb-based alloy obtained by extraction of a hanging melt drop in the initial state and after heat treatment are investigated. It is stated that the rapidly quenched alloy has low tensile elongation, high strength and hardness, and a mechanism of brittle fracture during deformation. Heat treatment allows increasing the value of tensile elongation, reduces hardness, and results in tough fracture during deformation.

Presents the results of work carried out at the Federal state unitary enterprise «VIAM» in the framework of a new material science direction – metallurgy of metal fibers. This work was made possible by the development of a method for producing metal fibers called the hanging melt drop extraction method (EUCR). This method is high-performance and allows you to obtain fibers from almost any material. Research has shown that it is possible to improve the performance and environmental characteristics of modern and advanced engines by introducing new classes of materials based on metal fibers.
