    Titanium alloys and intermetallics can be extensively used in variety of applications and industries if cheaper and more cost-effective methods of their production can be developed. A wide range of titanium-based materials comprising of titanium metal powder, gamma titanium aluminide intermetallic in powder and ingot forms and titanium aluminide-alumina nanocomposite powder have been successfully synthesised using TiO2 via a new simple and cheap combustion synthesis-based method. This paper deals with the production concept and characterization of these materials.
