Conclusions

  1. 1.

    Alpha titanium alloys melted with use of commercial titanium sponge are subject to reversible temper brittleness.

  2. 2.

    The reason for temper brittleness is adsorption of intermetallic-forming β-stabilizing elements in grain boundaries and weakening of the intergranular strength resulting from accumulations of intermetallic particles.
