Abstract
The phase stability, mechanical properties, and functional properties of Ti-5.5Al-11.8[Mo]eq alloys are focused on in this study by substituting 3d transition metal elements (V, Cr, Co, and Ni) for Mo as β-stabilizers to achieve similar β phase stability and room temperature (RT) superelasticity. The ternary alloy systems with the equivalent chemical compositions of Ti-5.5Al-17.7V, Ti-5.5Al-9.5Cr, Ti-5.5Al-7.0Co, and Ti-5.5Al-9.5Ni (mass%) alloys were selected as the target materials based on the Mo equivalent formula, which has been applied for the Ti-5.5Al-11.8Mo alloy in the literature. The fundamental mechanical properties and functionalities of the selected alloys were examined. The β phase was stabilized at RT in all alloys except for the Ti-Al-V alloy. Among all alloys, the Ti-Al-Ni alloy exhibited superelasticity in the cyclic loading-unloading tensile tests at RT. As a result, similar to the Ti-5.5Al-11.8Mo mother alloy, by utilizing the Mo equivalent formula to substitute 3d transition metal elements for Mo, a RT superelasticity was successfully imposed.
