1 Correction to: Metallurgical and Materials Transactions A Volume 50A, August 2019 https://doi.org/10.1007/s11661-019-05244-7

In the original article, there is an error in Figure 1. The unit of Specific strength should be MPa/(g·cm−3). Following is the corrected Figure 1.

Specific strength vs service temperature for typical structural materials (data excerpted from References 24 and 25)

On page 3636 of the original article, the orientation relationship between TiB and α-Ti should be corrected to \( \left( {201} \right)_{\text{TiB}} \parallel \left( {\overline{1} 110} \right)_{{\alpha - {\text{Ti}}}} \), \( \left[ {11\overline{2} } \right]_{\text{TiB}} \parallel \left[ {0001} \right]_{{\alpha - {\text{Ti}}}} \)
