The effect of an addition of molybdenum on the quenched and aged structure of a Ti-1 wt % Si alloy

Titanium-1% silicon alloys with the addition of 0.5 and 1 wt % Mo, when water quenched from the field, contain small regions of the -phase lying between the martensitic crystals indicating that some diffusional changes occur during quenching. On ageing the 1% Mo alloy at 650° C titanium suicide precipitation occurs together with spheroidization of the -phase.Formerly at Imperial College.
