zThe metal titanium at ordinary temperatures=is of a close-packed hexagonal structure 1 commonly ealledl the alpha phase. At a temperature .of about 885 .Cs, it is transformed to a body-centered cubic structure known as the beta phase. The addition of aluminum tends to stabilize the alpha'phase. Our investigations have estab- -lished that titanium-aluminum binaryalloys containing up to 25% aluminum are found to consist entirely of equiaxed alpha grains. When the aluminumcontent is increased to about 30% another phase appears interspersed with the'alpha phase in a plate-like structure. This additional phase is not beta titanium but a third '-crystalline form which, due to its high aluminumcontent, cannot be called a phase of titanium.- Forthe purpose of this specification, it will beidentified as I(A1Ti). -Its crystalline form is face-centered tetragonal. When ,.the aluminum content isincreased to about 32%, alpha titanium is still present, but at an aluminumcontent of about 34%, thealpha titanium disappears, and the entire microstructure is one of equiaxed I(A1Ti) .grains. ,A .photomicrograph shows a strong resemblancev to many -of,the brasses. As thealuminum content .is furtherincreased, the alloy continues single phase I(AlTi) up to an aluminum contentof about 46% At analuminnm content. of about 50%, thealloy againhas a two-phase microstructure.

It will be seen that, whereas the Ti-lOAl alloy has only an F-P, i.e., fair-to-poor rating in hot rollability, the addition of 0.25% carbon increases the rating to F-G, i. e., fair-to-good, while the addition of 2.5% zirconium or germanium, or of practically all of the various beta promoters, increases the hot rollability rating to G, i.e., good or excellent. It will further be noted from this data, that although as above stated, the Ti-Al binary alloys cannot be hot worked above about 12% aluminum, at which aluminum level the fabricability is extremely poor, addition of such beta promoters as copper and manganese, impart excellent hot rollability at the 12% aluminum level and even up to thereof.
Although, as above stated, the TiAl binary alloys may be hot worked with up to about 12% aluminum, the thus fabricated material has at room temperature no measurable ductility and an extremely low tensile strength of less than 40,000 p.s.i. Additions of various alpha and/or beta promoters aforesaid, in addition to enhancing the hot workability of the binary alloy, also impart greatly enhanced strength and ductility to the resulting hot worked alloy. This is shown by the room temperature mechanical properties given in the following Table II, for representative alloys as fabricated in accordance with Table I and thereafter annealed.

I have found, as above stated, that the binary alloys containing as much as 12% aluminum, can be fabricated by hot working and that these also have very desirable hot hardness properties. For example, an alloy containing 12% aluminum, balance substantially all titanium, showed average Vickers hardnesses at various temperatures as shown in the following Table V.
TABLE V Temperature, 0. Maximum Vickers Hardness Minimum Average In the test data of Table V, the specimens were hot rolled at 1050" C. to at 28% cross-sectional area reduction, and then annealed for two hours in air at 1000 C. and the surface cleaned and polished prior to hardness testing. The improvement over substantially pure titanium is very marked, the latter having for example, a Vickers hardness of not over 14 at 800 C., as com- Ti12Al alloy at this temperature.
The alloys aforesaid containing beta promoter additions up to about 12 or 14% in general have a mixed alpha-beta microstructure as quenched from the beta field, while those containing upwards of about 15% of total beta promoter content, in general have a substantially all-beta structure as thus quenched. As shown by the Ti-AlV analyses in the above Table I, the improvement in strength combined with high ductility imparted to these high aluminum, titanium base alloys, is much greater where the beta promoter content is sufficiently high to impart an all-beta structure as quenched, than for lower beta promoter additions imparting a mixed alpha-beta structure.
The alloys of the invention were prepared by are melting in a cold mold furnace in an inert or argon atmosphere.
