“…As a conventional alloying addition for Ti alloys, Sn can significantly increase strength and corrosion resistance. Suiter [1,2] and Kornilov and Nartova [3] investigated the effect of Sn additives on the mechanical properties of pure titanium and found that significant increase in strength occurred by alloying Ti to 3-6 at.% Sn, at room temperature, as well as, at 400 • C. Rare earth (RE) elements are important additives for developing new structural materials with Al alloys, Ti alloys and Fe alloys [4][5][6][7]. There are some studies reporting that the addition of small amount of a rare earth element can improve the microstructures and properties of titanium alloys [5,6].…”
