Additions of pure titanium to prealloyed powder of the starting composition were used to decrease the aluminium content to 43 and 44 at.-%, while additions of elemental aluminium increased it to 46 and 47 at.-%. Although the microstructures obtained were always fully lamellar, the porosity levels were different indicating a change in the sintering behaviour induced by the additions of elemental powders. Titanium additions lowered the optimum sintering temperatures, while aluminium additions shifted it to higher values. A reaction between the titanium aluminide prealloyed powder and pure aluminium was found to critically affect the sintering process.}, note = {Online available at: \url{https://doi.org/10.1179/1743290115Y.0000000017} (DOI).
