Abstract

At present the development of ß-titanium alloys has reached a new stage. Attempts over many years (since the end of the 1950s) to develop a universal industrial ß-titanium alloy have not been successful. At present, the use of ß-alloys is limited, although a great number of alloying systems have been tried. The creation of new ß-alloys requires an analysis of the data obtained. Investigators have come to a common opinion by analyzing the effect of ß-stabilizers and “neutral” strengthening elements on the properties and structure of ß-titanium alloys. This cannot be said about the effect of aluminum. Many investigators believe that the aluminum content in ß-titanium alloys should not exceed 3%. However, this has not been appropriately substantiated. This work concerns the effect of aluminum content on the stability of the ß-phase and presents some concepts on alloying ß-titanium alloys.
