The interaction between Al and the transition metals Ti and Cr on the stability of the omega phase in metastable beta-based structures was studied. Alloys were quenched from the melt to retain at room temperature a metastable beta phase (B2 structure), which is stable at high temperatures. The structural study of the w phase was carried out by correlating the deviation of w structure from the ideal w phase to the compositions of the parent beta phase. Deviation of w structures from the ideal one was related to the electron concentration of the parent beta phase. A diffuse omega structure is reported in the Cr2Al phase (C11(b) structure) for the first time. The results are consistent with our previous suggestions that Al stabilises the w phase in transition metals by lowering the spatial conduction electron concentration in the parent beta phase and by enhancing pd hybridisation of valence electrons. In the ternary Ti-Al-Cr alloys, prolonged annealing of the Ti-30Al-10Cr and Ti-20Al-10Cr alloys at 450 degrees C led to the formation of two types of ordered crystalline omega structure.
