Zr, Nb, and Ta as alloying elements for Ti alloys are important for attaining superior corrosion resistance and biocompatibility in the long term. However, note that the addition of excess Nb and Ta to Ti alloys leads to higher manufacturing cost. To develop low-cost manufacturing processes, the effects of hot-forging and continuous-hot-rolling conditions on the microstructure, mechanical prope...

The hot ductility of V containing high Al, TWIP steels was determined at a 1000°C, when no dynamic recrystallisation occurred, and precipitation too coarse to influence ductility. A change in g...
