Abstract
The omega phase is a metastable phase which forms in alloys of titanium and zirconium with most transition metals. In this paper the available data from both alloy systems on the occurrence, the structure, the mechanism of formation, and the morphology of the phase are reviewed and compared. The effect of omega phase on the mechanical behaviour and on the superconducting properties is then discussed. It is concluded that uncertainties still exist on the mechanism of the omega transformation during quenching and on the mechanism of the effect of omega on the mechanical properties.
