Abstract

In this study, we investigated mechanical properties and surface characteristics of Ti-25Ta-xHf alloys. The samples were manufactured for composition of Ti-25Ta-xHf(x=0 to 15 wt. %) alloys. Each alloy was melted twenty times in an arc-melting vacuum furnace. The microstructural phases and phase transformation of Ti-25Ta-xHf alloys were identified with the aid of an XRF, XRD and DSC. And mechanical properties were investigated using Vickers hardness, nanoindentation, and tensile test.
