Development and processing of high‐temperature materials is the key to technological advancements in engineering areas where materials have to meet extreme requirements. Examples for such areas are the aerospace and spacecraft industry or the automotive industry. New structural materials have to be “stronger, stiffer, hotter, and lighter” to withstand the extremely demanding conditions in the next generation of aircraft engines, space vehicles, and automotive engines. Intermetallic γ‐TiAl‐based alloys show a great potential to fulfill these demands.
