1. Classification of titanium alloys

Before going into detail about the properties of titanium and its alloys, it's worth taking the time to present a few elements of physical metallurgy that condition the various families to which the alloys belong ( [M 1 335] for more information).

1.1 Allotropic transformation

Pure titanium undergoes an allotropic, martensitic transformation around 882°C. Below this temperature, the crystallographic structure is pseudocompact hexagonal (a = 0.285 nm; c = 0.468 nm;...
