Classification of Titanium Alloys
? : primarily ? phase
near-? : ? phase with small amounts of ? stabilizing elements
? ? ? : mixtures of ? and ? phases
? : ? stabilized at room temperature after cooling from solution heat treatment

Chemical Compositions and Typical
Applications of Unalloyed Titanium
Iron is a ? stabilizer
Low levels of N good for interstitial strengthening
Oxygen content determines strength
Hydrogen is always bad (causes embrittlement)
“Pure” titanium is lower strength, but more corrosion resistant and less expensive
