Of the β-isomorphous Ti-X alloy systems, Ti-Ta is one of the least studied. In the current work, the microstructure and mechanical properties of Ti-40 wt pct Ta (Ti-15 at. pct Ta) are investigated. Annealing at 810 °C produces a two-phase microstructure consisting of Ti-richaidiomorphs in a continuous Ta-rich β matrix; this suggests the β-transus temperature is higher than indicated by the most recently published phase diagram. Water quenching from 810 °C causes the β phase to partially transform to orthorhombic martensite (α), while furnace cooling yields secondaryaThe primary α formed isothermally remains unchanged in both cases. Subsequent aging causes transformation of the martensite to type 1aplus residual β, with a corresponding increase in strength and decrease in ductility. The maximum ductility (20 pct elongation) occurs in the water-quenched condition in which metastable β is retained. Analysis of the true stresstrue strain data suggests that transformation-induced plasticity may contribute to the enhanced ductility of the water-quenched material.
