Abstract
The continuous cooling diagrams of sixteen titanium-base binary alloys have already been reported by the present authors in three reports. This paper deals with some considerations on the experimental data contained in these previous reports.
Ms curves of titanium alloys do not coincide neither with α(α+β) boundary lines nor with β−(α+β) boundary lines.
To curves can be obtained experimentally by measuring Ms and βs points. On the other hand, they are able to be calculated thermodynamically by Kaufman’s equation. Both methods were applied to Ti-Mo and Ti-V alloys and the results were found to be in good agreement.
