The minimum concentrations of alloying additions required in order to obtain a single-phase, BETA solid solution of titanium on quenching to room temperature are 4.5 to 4.9 at.% Fe, 4.9 at.% Co, 5.0 at.% Mn, 5.8 to 6.3 at.% Ni, 5.8 at.% Mo, 6.0 at.% Re, 8.4 at.% Cr, 8.7 at.% W, 18.4 at.% V, 21.0 at.% Ta, and 23.0 at.% Nb. These minimal critical concentrations of the alloying addition required in order to stabihize the BETA -phase are equivalent to an average electron concentration of 4.2 electrons per atom. This regularity was verified for the triple alloy systems of Ti-Te-- V, Ti-- Fe-- Cr, Ti-- V-- Mo, Ti-- Mo-- Fe, and Ti-- Mo-Mn. Thus it is possible to predict the alloy compositions which will give a single-phase, beta structure on quenching. A ternary phase diagram for Ti--Fe--V is presented as an example. A mixture of BETA + omega phases are formed if the electron concentration is (4.2 electrons per atom, while the beta phase only is formed at an electron concentration >4.2 electrons per atom. All these ternary systems, which were constructed on the basis of the critical stabilizing concentration of the alloying addition in the corresponding binary systems, followed this rule. (TTT)
