Diffusionless isothermal omega () transformation, which was recently defined in Phys. Rev. Materials 3, 043604 (2019)2475-995310.1103/PhysRevMaterials.3.043604, is classified into a third category of thetransformation modes, other than the well-known isothermal and athermal modes. This work reveals the characteristic features of thetransformation in the-titanium vanadium alloy system, specifically, focusing on variations in the microstructure and mechanical properties with the proceeding of thetransformation. After quenching alloys of Ti-15at%V, Ti-21at%V, and Ti-27at%V down to below room temperature from the-stable temperature, in addition to the occurrence of the athermaltransformation for Ti-15at%V, all of the alloys gradually undergo thetransformation upon aging at a temperature as low as 373 K, leading to a moderate increase in the hardness. The degree of the hardness increase in these alloys can be successfully explained by a local instability concept based on quenched-in thermal concentration fluctuations. It is also shown that internal friction (Ti-21at%V) diminishes after the low-temperature aging, which indicates the annihilation of such unstable regions showing a dynamic collapse ofpairs to form a transientphase. Comparison of inelastic x-ray scattering and ultrasound measurements can see a trail of thetransformation remaining even in the Ti-27at%V alloy, which has no obvious athermal omega transformation temperature. Based on the results, the difference between athermalandtransformations is finally discussed.
