Abstrakt: The temperature coefficient of resistivity (TCR) of beta stabilized titanium alloys is sensitive to minor constitutional changes produced by quenching, ageing and precipitate reversion. The influence of omega and alpha phase precipitation on TCR is demonstrated for binary and ternary alloys of composition Ti80(Nb + V)20. It is concluded that TCR measurements provide a sensitive method for detecting the early stages of beta phase decomposition in these alloys.
