Abstract:In this article, we provide a broad and extensive review of beta titanium alloys. Beta titanium alloys are an important class of alloys that have found use in demanding applications such as aircraft structures and engines, and orthopedic and orthodontic implants. Their high strength, good corrosion resistance, excellent biocompatibility, and ease of fabrication provide significant advantages compared to other high performance alloys. The body-centered cubic (bcc) β-phase is metastable at temperatures below the beta transus temperature, providing these alloys with a wide range of microstructures and mechanical properties through processing and heat treatment. One attribute important for biomedical applications is the ability to adjust the modulus of elasticity through alloying and altering phase volume fractions. Furthermore, since these alloys are metastable, they experience stress-induced transformations in response to deformation. The attributes of these alloys make them the subject of many recent studies. In addition, researchers are pursuing development of new metastable and near-beta Ti alloys for advanced applications. In this article, we review several important topics of these alloys including phase stability, development history, thermo-mechanical processing and heat treatment, and stress-induced transformations. In addition, we address recent developments in new alloys, phase stability, superelasticity, and additive manufacturing.

“…It has been clearly shown that the size, morphology and number density of hcp structure alpha precipitates in Ti-5553 can be significantly influenced by the nano-scale structural and compositional instability, more specifically the metastable hexagonal structure isothermal omega phase, present in parent bcc structure beta phase. Computational simulation has shown that the compositional and/or stress field associated with such nano-scale instabilities may contribute to an increased driving force for alpha nucleation [3,5,6]. In order to provide accurate input into computational simulation, the compositional and structural insights of nanoscale instabilities in parent phase matrix are highly demanded in experiment.…”

Metastable beta titanium alloys have attracted significant amount of attentions in recent years, because their microstructures can be manipulated by different phase transformation mechanisms and therefore the corresponding mechanical properties vary significantly by adopting various thermal/mechanical processes. In our recent studies, coupling atom probe and aberration-corrected scanning transmission electron microscope, several novel phase transformation mechanisms have been systematically explored in a beta titanium alloy, Ti-5Al-5Mo-5V-3Cr (Ti-5553, wt.%) [1][2][3][4]. It has been clearly shown that the size, morphology and number density of hcp structure alpha precipitates in Ti-5553 can be significantly influenced by the nano-scale structural and compositional instability, more specifically the metastable hexagonal structure isothermal omega phase, present in parent bcc structure beta phase.

The structure of omega phase is characterized using Z-contrast HAADF-STEM imaging, that every two of three adjacent {111} atom planes are observed to collapsed leaving the third atom plane unaltered, as shown in Fig 1(b).The second part of the work to be presented focused on the characterization of omega phase assisted alpha precipitation in another beta titanium alloy, . For the first time, conclusive experimental evidence of nucleation of alpha precipitates at the omega/beta interface was obtained using atom probe (LEAP 3000X HR) and probe corrected scanning transmission electron microscope (FEI Titan™ 80-300), as shown in Fig. 2. HAADF-STEM image in Fig. 2(a) shows the clear contact of hcp structure alpha precipitate with pre-formed hexagonal structure isothermal omega particle, which is further validated using atom probe shown in Fig. 2(b) that alpha precipitate is formed at the pre-formed interface between coarse cuboidal morphology omega particle and beta matrix in three dimensions with a simila...

The authors review the recent advances in the development of high‐strength titanium alloys. First, they summarize conventional strengthening approaches and their mechanisms, thecorresponding microstructures, and the optimized mechanical properties. Subsequently, various strengthening strategies for high‐strength titanium alloys are discussed. Finally, examples of the successful development of high‐strength titanium alloys based on amorphous crystallization via solid and semi‐solid sintering are presented. The review of the interrelation between the microstructure, the strengthening, and the properties may provide significant insight into achieving novel high‐strength titanium alloys.
