4V (wt.%) as-cast alloys for contents within the solubility limits (up to around 0.05 wt.%) and
to enhance their strength and hardness HV in the range of the existence of metal-boride
eutectic (up to 2.0 and 2.5 wt.% B studied, respectively). The boride reinforcement
contributes much to the hardness and strength of the Ti–6Al and Ti–6Al–4V alloys,
increasing them by 1.5–2 times at room temperature to 400° C. Monovariant eutectics (Ti88 …
