Common Phases for Titanium Alloys

The following lists common phase names and the corresponding Thermo‑Calc database phase names for some key titanium alloys.

Electrical resistivity and thermal conductivity are only assessed for the phases listed here except those marked with an asterisk (*).

TCTI6 Models for the Included Phases

Name in the Database

Common Name and Description

ALTI_L10 This is the γ phase in TiAl-based alloys.
ALTI3_D019 This is the α2 phase.
BCC_B2

This is the β phase. The ordered B2 phase with the disordered BCC_A2 has been modeled with the so-called partition model. It is always labeled as BCC_B2 in calculations with TCTI. It is necessary to check the constitution of the phase to find out whether it is ordered or not.

Electrical resistivity and thermal conductivity are assessed for BCC_A2, BCC_B2 with available data.

B19_ORTHO* This is the orthorhombic martensite in Ti-Ni-based alloys.
B19_PRIME* This is the monoclinic martensite in Ti-Ni-based alloys.
B82_omega This is the ωo phase in TiAl-based alloys.
CUZR2_C11B CuTi2 is modeled as this phase.
CU4TI1 Cu4Ti is modeled as this phase.
DELTA_TIH2 This is the delta dihydride (eg. TiH2) with CaF2 as prototype.
FCC_B1 Titanium carbide, nitride, oxide with NaCl as prototype.
HCP_A3 This is the α phase. The descriptions of α' (Hcp martensite) and α" (orthorhombic martensite) are unified into HCP_A3 phase in the database by now.
Liquid Metallic liquid solution.
MSI_B27 TiSi is modeled as this phase.
M3SI1 Ti3Si is modeled as this phase.
M5SI3_D88 Ti5Si3 is modeled as this phase.
O_PHASE This is the orthorhombic phase stable in Ti-Al-Nb, Ti-Al-Ta and possibly in multicomponent TiAl alloys.
OMEGA* The omega phase is a metastable phase which forms in titanium and its alloys with transition elements (like V, Mo, Nb, Fe, etc).
R_MARTE* This is an intermediate martensite, R-phase, in Ti-Ni-based alloys.
RUTILE_TIO2 TiO2 is modeled as this phase.
TiB_B27 TiB is modeled as this phase.
TiB2_C32 TiB2 is modeled as this phase.
Ti2N_C4 Ti2N is modeled as this phase.
Ti2Ni3* This is a tetragonal metastable precipitate in Ti-Ni alloys.
Ti3Ni4* This is a metastable precipitate in Ti-Ni alloys.
Ti3B4 Ti3B4 is modeled as this phase.
Ti3N2 η-Ti3N2-x phase in Ti-N binary.
Ti4N3 zeta-Ti4N3-x phase in Ti-N binary.
TiSi2_C54 TiSi2 is modeled as this phase.
Zr5Si4 Ti5Si4 is modeled as this phase.
* Electrical resistivity and thermal conductivity are not assessed for this phase.
