Abstract: | This investigation has shown that the strength of low-modulus metastable beta-titanium alloys can be increased by increasing their oxygen content and/or aging. Yield strength as high as 1,288 MPa along with reasonable ductility was obtained by aging Ti-35Nb-7Zr-5Ta-0.7O at 482°C for 8 h. Strengthening of these alloys is discussed in terms of ω-and α-phase precipitates. For more information, contact H.J.
