Tensile, creep-rupture, and stability tests were employed to evaluate the effect of alpha -strengthening and beta complexing additions on the base composition Ti-6A1 3Mo. The ultimate objective was to produce an alloy of greater strength than the Tl-7A1-3Mo alloy. Strengthening of alpha was accompllshed by additions of 2 and 4% Ge, 4% Sn, 4% Zr, and 2% Sn-2% Zr. Maklng the beta more complex while keeping the total of beta -stabillzlng additions constant at 3% resulted in higher tensile strengths but lower creep and rupture strengths, especially at lOOO F. None of the more complex versions of the base alloy offers greater promise than the Ti-7A1 -3Mo alloy. However, some improvemeut in the strength of the latter may follow from additions of zirconium perhaps up to 4%. (auth)
