Titanium “irons” and titanium “steels”

  • Published:
Metal Science and Heat Treatment Aims and scope

Special features of the structure and properties of promising structural alloys based on the Ti–Si system are described. The similarity of the diagrams of phase equilibria of the Fe–Si and Fe–C systems makes it possible to classify the alloys of the Ti–Si system into titanium “steels” and “irons” depending on the silicon content. Results of studies of the effects of alloying, heat treatment, and thermomechanical treatment on the phase and structural transformations and on some properties of alloys based on the Ti–Si system are presented.
