Abstract (en)

An article made of an alloy, and a method for making the article, are presented. The alloy is substantially free of martensite, and comprises the following composition: at least about 75 weight percent titanium; up to about 10 weight percent of a beta stabilizing component; from about 3 weight percent to about 15 weight percent of an alpha stabilizing component; and from about 0.05 weight percent to about 5 weight percent germanium. Another embodiment is a method for fabricating an article. The method comprises providing a billet made of an alloy as described above, and stabilizing the billet microstructure to form a stabilized billet; the method may further comprise superplastically processing the stabilized billet to form a processed item.
