Abstract
An investigation has been made of the various phase transformations which occur when dilute Ti-Mo (0.5 and 1.0 wt% Mo) alloys are cooled from theβ phase field and are subsequently tempered in theα +β phase field. The morphology of the decomposition products varied with cooling rate and can be correlated with the competition between the formation ofα′ by martensitic and by diffusional processes. On isothermal transformation below theM s, or upon tempering,β phase precipitates grow heterogeneously from the supersaturatedα′ plates formed by shear. The precipitate habit plane is irrational and corresponds to the {334}β plane.
