The β-solidifying Ti46A17Nb2.5V1.0Cr (at%) alloy with the narrow crystallization temperature range is attributed to the formation of a homogeneous finegrained microstructure. However, the crystallization temperature range of Ti48A17Nb2.5V1.0Cr (at%) alloy is equivalent to that of Ti46A17Nb2.5V1.0Cr alloy, but it is solidified by peritectic reaction, leading to the formation of finer dendrites.展开更多
