Abstract:
1. An ingot comprising an alloy, the alloy comprising from about 5 wt. % to about 35 wt. % of niobium, from about 0.5 wt. % to about 3.5 wt. % of silicon, and from about 61.5 wt. % to about 94.5 wt. % of titanium, the alloy having a hexagonal crystal lattice α phase of from about 20 vol % to about 70 vol %, and a cubic body centered β crystal lattice phase of from about 30 vol. % to about 80 vol. %, the ingot having an ultimate tensile strength of about 1,000 MPa or more, and a Young's modulus of about 150 GPa or less.
