The metastable beta-Ti alloy, Ti-5553, has been heat-treated to permit a determination of the role of the omega phase on non-classical precipitation of the alpha phase. Thus, samples containing the athermal omega phase have been up-quenched to 600 degrees C. The observations made are consistent with the activation of the non-classical, pseudo-spinodal, nucleation mechanism, with the omega phase playing essentially no direct role. The alpha/beta interfacial structures have been shown to exhibit significant degrees of coherency compared with those in conventional alpha/beta alloys, and implications of this on lowering the interfacial energy, and so the activation for nucleation, are discussed.
