Abstract
The effects of three interstitial solutes—nitrogen, oxygen, and carbon—on the mechanical properties of high-purity alpha titanium were determined on fusion-alloyed, annealed specimens in comparison with a substitutional solute, iron. A good correlation between bend ductility as well as the several microtensile properties and Vickers hardness was established for both the binary and ternary alloys of the interstitial solutes. In contrast to substitutional solutes, it was shown that the element with the lowest solubility had the greatest strengthening effect and this was discussed relative to the associated lattice parameter changes.
