Different annealing temperatures subsequent to quenching were used to obtain well-defined lamellar microstructures with ultrafine widths of a few tens of nanometers to a few nanometers. Surprisingly, the hardness of these alloys is enhanced by increasing the volume fraction of γ-TiAl laths. This behavior is different from the results reported in literature and can be explained by the occurrence of a size effect. The nanometer-size γ laths became harder than the greek small letter alpha2-Ti3Al laths which are 10 times wider.}, note = {Online available at: \url{https://doi.org/10.1016/j.intermet.2008.03.009} (DOI).
