Addition of ∼3 wt% Ce to cast pure Ti induced formation of numerous fine Ce particles on the microstructure. The Ce-alloyed cast Ti had both high tensile strength and ductility, which are unattainable simultaneously in cast pure Ti. The mechanisms by which the Ce particles increased tensile properties were identified.
