pressure, including binary Ti–Mo, Ti–24Nb–4Zr–8Sn (Ti2448) and Ti–36Nb–2Ta–0.3 O
(gum metal). We observed stability of the β phase in these alloys to 40 GPa, well into the ω
phase region in the P–T diagram of pure titanium. Gum metal was pressurised above 70
GPa and forms a phase with a crystal structure similar to the η phase of pure Ti. The bulk
moduli determined for the different alloys range from 97±3 GPa (Ti2448) to 124±6 GPa (Ti …
