Aging effects on the microstructures and mechanical properties of the Ti–20Zr–6.5Al–4V alloy

Influence of beryllium addition on the microstructural evolution and mechanical properties of Zr alloys

“…A new peak appears at 2h = 51.5°compared with pure Zr (presented in Fig. 1(b)), which matches with the peak of b phase [24]. This result is probably because Be element is a typical b-stabilizer for Zr alloys.…”

Microstructure and tensile properties of hot-rolled Zr50–Ti50 binary alloy

“…In addition to these traditional nuclear materials, Zr alloys [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12], such as ZrTiAlV and ZrTiCr alloys, have been also investigated to expand its applications, i.e., in structural and medical materials [9][10][11][12][13][14][15].…”

Structure and mechanical properties of as-cast (ZrTi)100−xBx alloys

“…The formation of 9 stacking faults during the growth process of the ZrB 2 and TiB intermetallics could be attributed to the location of B atoms and the lattice mismatch energy between the intermetallics and the matrix.…”

“…However, apart from the nuclear and chemical industries, pure Zr and its alloys are used only in a few other fields because of their poor mechanical properties. Some works reported on ultrahigh strength ZrTiAlV series alloys have shown that pure Zr and Zr alloys have an enormous potential application as structure materials [9,10]. Consequently, further development of Zr-based alloys with excellent mechanical properties is needed.…”
