Two commercial costefficient titanium alloys—a lowalloyed α+βti–6Al–4V (mas.%) and a metastable βalloy ti–1.5Al–6.8Mo–4.5Fe melted with a single electronbeam cold hearth melting approach—are employed in a present study as ...

Titanium-based materials, which combine high strength and hardness of surface layer along with sufficient ductile characteristics of the matrix metal, are very promising for various applications, particularly, as armoured ...
