Since its discovery in 1954, the omega (ω) phase in titanium and its alloys has attracted
substantial attention from researchers. The β-to-ω and ω-to-α phase transformations are …

At ambient conditions the great majority of the metallic elements have simple crystal
structures, such as face-centred or body-centred cubic, or hexagonal close-packed …

In this paper, the elastic deformation behaviour of a recently developed β-type titanium alloy
Ti–24Nb–4Zr–7.9 Sn (wt.%) that consists of non-toxic elements and is intended for …

The effects of uniaxial stress on the pressure-induced α→ ω transition in pure titanium (Ti)
are investigated by means of angle dispersive X-ray diffraction in a diamond-anvil cell …

Here we report a non-toxic-type titanium alloy exhibiting unstable elastic and plastic
deformation behavior. Elastic instability leads to remarkable elastic softening, ie, the …

In this article we discuss the Slater–Koster (SK) tight-binding (TB) method from the
perspective of our own developments and applications to this method. We first present an …

We have performed first-principles evolutionary searches for stable Ti–N compounds and
have found, in addition to the well-known rock-salt TiN, new ground states Ti3N2, Ti4N3 …

A rare transformation from a hexagonal close-packed (hcp) phase to a face-centered cubic
(fcc) phase was found in pure Ti deformed by cryogenic channel-die compression indented …

The effect of phase transformation kinetics on the formation of α in the β-quenched Ti–5Al–
5Mo–5V–3Cr–1Zr metastable β titanium alloy is investigated as a function of heating rate by …

We propose a new direct mechanism for the pressure driven α→ ω martensitic
transformation in pure titanium. A systematic algorithm enumerates all possible pathways …
