CONCLUSIONS
One means of optimizing high s t rength and high d u c t i l i t y in metals can be
characterized on t h e bas i s of f ive criteria: a metastable, s ing le phase fcc or
bcc s t a r t i n g material; a low strain-hardening exponent and good workabili ty; a
low stacking fault energy and high recovery temperature; a hardening mechanism
ac t ive below t h e recovery temperature; and a low s e n s i t i v i t y of flow stress t o
temperature. By appl icat ion of these criteria, Feznomechanical processing of cl the B-Ti a l l o y TS6 has resu l ted in a material with an ultimate tens i le s t rength 1- in excess of 320,000 p s i with 15% RA, exhibi t ing d u c t i l e behavior at elastic
