Abstract

The heat of fusion and the specific heats of the solid and liquid have been experimentally determined for a Ti60Cr40 alloy. The data are used to evaluate the Gibbs free energy difference, DELTA-G, between the liquid and the beta-phase as a function of temperature to verify a reported spontaneous vitrification (SV) of the beta-phase in Ti-Cr alloys. The results show that SV of an undistorted beta-phase in the Ti60Cr40 alloy at 873 K is not feasible because DELTA-G is positive at the temperature. However, DELTA-G may become negative with additional excess free energy to the beta-phase in the form of defects.
