TITANIUM IS A TRANSITION METAL THAT HAS AN ALLOTROPIC TRANSFORMATION AROUND 883 °C. BELOW THIS TEMPERATURE, ITS CRYSTALLINE STRUCTURE IS A HEXAGONAL COMPACT (α PHASE). ABOVE THIS TEMPERATURE, IT HAS A BODY-CENTERED CUBIC CRYSTALLINE STRUCTURE (β PHASE). ZIRCONIUM HAS AN ALLOTROPIC TRANSFORMATION SIMILAR TO TITANIUM AT AROUND 862 °C, AND TANTALUM HAS A BODY-CENTERED CUBIC CRYSTALLINE STRUCTURE. THE OBJECTIVE OF THIS STUDY WAS TO PRODUCE TI-25WT%TA ALLOYS AS A BASE MATERIAL, VARYING ZIRCONIUM (0, 25, AND 50WT%). THE TI-25TA-XZR ALLOYS WERE PREPARED IN AN ARC-MELTING FURNACE WITH A NON-CONSUMABLE TUNGSTEN ELECTRODE AND WATER-COOLED COPPER CRUCIBLE IN ARGON-CONTROLLED ATMOSPHERE. THE MICROSTRUCTURAL ANALYSIS WAS PERFORMED BY X-RAY DIFFRACTION (XRD), OPTICAL (OM) AND SCANNING ELECTRON MICROSCOPY (SEM). THE MECHANICAL PROPERTIES WERE ANALYZED BY MICROHARDNESS AND YOUNG€™S MODULUS MEASUREMENTS. XRD ANALYSIS REVEALED THE PRESENCE OF THE MARTENSITE α€ PHASE (ORTHORHOMBIC) IN THE ALLOY WITHOUT ZR; THE α€ + β PHASES FOR ALLOYS WITH 25 WT% ZR AND ONLY β PHASE FOR ALLOY WITH 50 WT% ZR. THESE RESULTS WERE CORROBORATED BY THE MICROSCOPY RESULTS, WITH A MICROSTRUCTURE COMPOSED OF GRAINS OF THE β PHASE AND NEEDLES OF THE α'' PHASE IN THE INTRAGRANULAR REGION. THE VALUES OF HARDNESS WERE GREATER THAN THE CP-TI DUE TO THE ACTION OF THE SUBSTITUTIONAL ELEMENTS, RESTRICTING THE MOVEMENT OF DISLOCATIONS IN THE ATOMIC PLANS. THE YOUNG€™S MODULUS DECREASES WITH THE INCREASE IN ZR CONTENT IN THE TI-25TA-XZR ALLOYS DUE TO THE STABILIZATION OF THE β PHASE.
