This paper proposes possible temperature-induced ferromagnetism (TIF) in TiBe{sub 2}, TiBe{sub 2{minus}x}Cu{sub x} and other itinerant magnets. The value of the critical field H{sub cr} for the existence of TIF in TiBe{sub 2}, evaluated on the basis of the author's and others' experimental results, coincide with the value H{sub cr} {congruent} 610 G predicted by Enz within the spin density wave theory of itinerant antiferromagnetism (AFM). The possibilities of the existence in TiBe{sub 2} of the TIF mechanism of spin fluctuations around the AFM mode as predicted by Moriya, and of the temperature-induced noncompensated itinerant AFM, i.e. ferromagnetism, are considered.
