Abstract:
1. Method for the production of a cast component, comprising the steps of: a) providing a melting crucible; b) producing a semifinished granular material from an intermetallic titanium aluminum material by reducing titanium oxide and aluminum oxide to titanium powder and aluminum powder, then grinding the titanium powder and the aluminum powder and converting these into an intermetallic Ti c) filling the melting crucible with semifinished granular material, wherein quantity of the semifinished granular material placed in the melting crucible corresponds to quantity required for casting the component; d) melting the semifinished granular material made of the intermetallic titanium aluminum material in the melting crucible; e) providing a casting mold; f) pouring melt into the casting mold; g) solidifying the melt in the casting mold; h) removing the cast component from the casting mold.
