By adding, for example, intermetallic γ-TiAl based alloy particles to Ti6242S powder a significant increase in yield strength up to 650 °C can be achieved by means of spark plasma sintering, along with sufficient room temperature ductility.

Spark plasma sintering at 1150 °C of powder blends with 10 m.% spherical γ-TiAl based powder (<20 μm) leads to a homogeneous dissolution of the TiAl particles in the matrix material and a refinement of the lamellar microstructure.
