Zusammenfassung:A "modified" meta-stable  titanium alloy that, apart from carbon content, corresponds to the composition range for standard Beta-C titanium alloy. The modified alloy comprises vanadium, chromium, molybdenum, zirconium, aluminium, with maxima for oxygen, iron, nitrogen, hydrogen, yttrium, and other elements (apart from carbon and titanium), with a balance (apart from carbon) of titanium. The modified alloy has carbon present at a stable total carbon level sufficiently in excess of 0.05 wt.% achieving an improvement in the mechanical properties of UTS, DSS and fatigue strength in threaded regions, relative to standard Beta-C alloy with a specified carbon level below 0.05 wt.%, with a maximum carbon content controlled so as to preclude carbide formation having a detrimental effect on the level of fatigue strength.
