Synergistic regulation of the TRIP effect and phase stability on the microstructural evolution and mechanical behavior of metastable TiZrHfNb alloys

Key Points

• Enhanced mechanical behavior correlates with a robust triple effect and phase stability in TiZrHfNb alloys.
• Significant improvements include a 25% increase in tensile strength noted during testing.
• Analysis of microstructural evolution through various thermal processing techniques shows unique alloy characteristics.
• Optimization indicates the need for further exploration of the TRIP effect to fully exploit these materials' potential.
