4. Behavior of beta-metastable titanium alloys

4.1 Beta titanium alloys

The properties of titanium have been the subject of articles [M 557] [M 530] . We recall here that titanium is the site of a martensitic-type α/β allotropic transformation in the vicinity of 882°C called β-transus. The β phase with a centered cubic structure is stable at high temperatures, and the α phase with a hexagonal structure is stable at low temperatures (below the β transus). The effect of chemical addition...
