Effects of Trace Erbium Addition on Microstructure and Mechanical Properties of Ti6Al4V-<i>x</i>Er Alloys

In order to discern the effect of rare earth element Er addition on grain refinement of the most widely used titanium alloy Ti6Al4V, new erbium modified Ti6Al4V alloys with compositions of Ti6Al4V-<i>x</i>Er (<i>x</i> = 0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6 wt %) were developed and investigated f...
