Abstract
The mechanical properties of commercially pure (CP) titanium can be im proved by controlled additions of the interstitial elements oxygen (O) , nitrogen (N) and carbon (C) as well as iron without sacrificing duct ility. Increasing the iron content leads to a refinement of the equiax ed alpha-grain size and in addition imparts a low rate of work hardeni ng. A deformation texture that is not affected by changes in compositi on is observed.
