Abstract

The alloy Ti-15Mo-5Zr-3Al is a metastatale β-alloy. X-ray diffraction data are obtained on the time-temperature-transformation behavior of this alloy as it decomposes into the hexagonal α-phase and the body centered cubic β-phase of a higher Mo concentration. Special X-ray techniques are described to overcome the problems encountered due to rolling and annealing textures as well as grain size. Lattice parameter data from the β-phase permit an approximate phase diagram to be determined.
