Metal Science and Heat Treatment of Metals Aims and scope

Conclusions

  1. 1.

    Molybdenum and vanadium improve the strength of alloy 2 (93 Ti, 5% Al and 2% Cr). The hardening of these alloys depends on the content ofβ -phase and the isomorphous stabilizers dissolved in it.

  2. 2.

    The stability of the investigated alloys is a function of the stability of the residualβ -phase.

    Molybdenum and vanadium, making up a considerable part of theβ -phase, greatly stabilize it.

    Niobium and tantalum are poor stabilizers.

  3. 3.

    Molybdenum and vanadium improve the heat resistant properties of alloy 2 at 400–500°.
