Titanium trialuminide intermetallic compound Al{sub 3}Ti, is characterized by its low density and its high oxidation resistance. Such properties are potentially useful in light-weight and heat-resistant structures for aerospace applications. Here, the allying effect of vanadium upon {delta}-phase titanium trialuminide has been investigated using materials whose compositions were of the type Al{sub 3}(Ti,V). Six types of ternary aluminum-titanium-vanadium alloys, ranging from Al{sub 3}Ti to Al{sub 3}V at 5 atomic % intervals, have been prepared by arc melting. All the materials showed the DO{sub 22} tetragonal structure, suggesting vanadium atoms substitute titanium atoms. The 0.2% proof stress increased with increasing vanadium content up to about 10 atomic %, and then decreased toward that of Al{sub 3}V both at room temperature and at elevated temperatures. Such behavior can be interpreted as substitutional solid solution strengthening.
