In titanium (Ti) alloys, metastable phases, such as beta and martensite phases, have obvious effects on microstructure and properties of heat treated specimens. The beta phase stability and martensitic transformation of TiZr-based alloys with different Al content were investigated. The addition of Al, the acknowledged alpha stabilizer of Ti-based alloys, is found to greatly modify the beta phase stability and martensitic transformation of TiZr-based alloys. The beta transus temperature of Ti60Zr40 binary alloy is about 640 degrees C. Simultaneously, as Al content increasing, beta transus temperature increases significantly. When Al content reaches 15 at.%, the beta transus temperature increases to nearly 850 degrees C. However, the phase composition of the beta quenched Ti60Zr40 binary alloy is composed of whole alpha' martensitic phase. Reversely, the (Ti60Zr40)(85)Al-15 alloy, which possesses higher beta transus temperatures, is mainly composed of beta phase. This interesting martensitic transformation phenomenon does not conform to previous wide accepted beta stabilizer theories and laws of Ti alloys. The main reasons of the abnormal beta-phase stability in TiZrAl alloys are considered to be high cohesive energy, inherent low beta -> alpha phase transition temperature, and extra local stress.
