Abstract (en)

A beta titanium alloy comprises 25wt% vanadium, 15wt% chromium, 2wt% aluminium, up to 0.15wt% oxygen, 0.1 to 0.3wt% carbon and the balance titanium plus incidental impurities. The carbon is present in the form of titanium carbide precipitates distributed throughout the beta titanium alloy matrix, the titanium carbide precipitates refine the grain size of the beta titanium alloy matrix and remove oxygen from the beta titanium alloy matrix to reduce precipitation of alpha titanium in the beta titanium alloy matrix to increase the ductility of the beta titanium alloy. The alloy is useful for gas turbine engine compressor blades (10), compressor vanes, compressor casings etc.
