Abstract
In this letter new Ti-Fe-Sn-Nb hypoeutectic alloy comprised of primary dendritic β-Ti and ultrafine (β-Ti + TiFe) eutectic was developed showing superior mechanical properties. The as-cast Ti67Fe27Sn3Nb3 (at.%) alloy exhibited exceptionally high yield stress (2.18 GPa) comparable to that of bulk metallic glasses. Most importantly, the sample presented significant strain-hardening (320 MPa) and enhanced plasticity. The slip deformation and dislocation accumulation in the β-Ti dendrite contribute to the plasticity and the pronounced strain-hardening, whereas the high strength stems from the ultrafine (β-Ti + TiFe) eutectic structure as well as the solution hardening in the multicomponent system.
