One of the major goals of the Materials Science and Engineering community is to achieve a fundamental understanding of how alloying affects the mechanical properties of structural materials. Titanium (Ti) and its alloys are particularly in demand due to their relatively lightweight, high strength and corrosion resistance. The low-temperature ductility of hexagonal close-packed (hcp) Ti known as α- Ti is linked to twinning. The addition of alloying elements can affect the deformation mechanisms leading to the change in macro-scale mechanical properties. To understand these effects, our objective is to study and quantify the energetics and kinetics of substitutional and interstitial solutes on the deformation mechanisms of hcp alloys.
