Abstract:
Bulk nanocrystalline Ti-based alloys were produced by conventional cooling from the corresponding liquid or high temperature solid phase followed by annealing at an appropriate temperature for a certain amount of time. The titanium-based alloys have a composition represented by the following formula, Ti. sub. a Cr. sub. b Cu. sub. c M. sub. d wherein M is at least one metal element selected from the group consisting of Mn, Mo, Fe. a, b, c, and d are atomic percentages falling within the following ranges: 60
