The well-known ββ+ω transformation has been observed in many b.c.c.- stabilized titanium, zirconium, and hafnium alloys(1,2). Although considerable controversy still exists regarding the exact mechanism(s) for formation of the ω phase, recent studies suggest that both the athermal and isothermal types form by the same mechanism and that they may therefore be considered equivalent products(3,4).The present observations are concerned with the formation of isothermal w in the B-titanium alloy RMI(38-6-44) [composition in wt.%: 3.4 Al, 8.3 V, 5.8 Cr, 3.9 Zr, 4.2 Mo, balance Ti] and form a part of a more general study of the aging characteristics of this alloy(5). The alloy was solution treated at 927°C, air-quenched, aged at appropriate temperatures, and examined in a Phillips EM 200 electron microscope. TEM failed to reveal the presence of athermal m in the solution treated and quenched material. Isothermal OJ formed during aging at 250° and 300°C, but it was not stable at temperatures of 350°C and above.

Metastable beta titanium alloys have been known to have numerous advantages such as cold formability, high strength, good fracture resistance, deep hardenability, and cost effectiveness. Very high strength is obtainable by precipitation of the hexagonal alpha phase in a bcc beta matrix in these alloys. Precipitation hardening in the metastable beta alloys may also result from the formation of transition phases such as omega phase. Ti-15-3 (Ti-15V- 3Cr-3Al-3Sn) has been developed recently by TIMET and USAF for low cost sheet metal applications. The purpose of the present study was to examine the aging characteristics in this alloy.The composition of the as-received material is: 14.7 V, 3.14 Cr, 3.05 Al, 2.26 Sn, and 0.145 Fe. The beta transus temperature as determined by optical metallographic method was about 770°C. Specimen coupons were prepared from a mill-annealed 1.2 mm thick sheet, and solution treated at 827°C for 2 hr in argon, then water quenched. Aging was also done in argon at temperatures ranging from 316 to 616°C for various times.
