TL;DR: In this article, the role of the ω phase on the copious nucleation of α leading to super-refined precipitation in a metastable β Ti-alloy has been rationalized for the first time.

TL;DR: Developed in MATLAB™, but deployable as a standalone cross-platform executable, MIPAR™ leverages the power of MATLAB’s matrix processing algorithms and offers a comprehensive graphical software solution to the multitude of 3D characterization problems.

TL;DR: In this article, the strength of a commercial β-titanium alloy was tuned by systematically controlling the size-scale of α precipitation via two-step heat treatments, and it was shown that annealing duration at 350°C greatly impacts the α size scale and, this consequently, can be used to tune the ultimate tensile strength (UTS) from ~1 to 2GPa.

TL;DR: In this paper, a non-conventional transformation pathway has been exploited to determine the degree of refinement of the microstructure of a metastable β-Ti alloy, and it has been found that a distribution of the α phase may be formed whose scale is intermediate between the super-refined and refined versions observed in previous research.

TL;DR: In this article, X-ray energy dispersive spectroscopy was used to determine the compositions of the phases and spectral images were used in the tomographic reconstruction of the alloy to reveal the morphology and the elemental partitioning between phases.
