Abstract

"Titanium, an element reported to be ninth most abundant of the elements in the earth's crust, has received very little experimental attention as an alloying element in non-ferrous metallurgy. In copper, titanium produces an age-hardening effect, which makes it of great value to copper manufacturers of fabricated products. Yet, but a handfull of men have investigated the copper-titanium equilibrium diagram, and the titanium rich portion of the diagram still remains a mystery. No work has been done on ternary alloys of copper-titanium to this date, as far as recorded information is concerned, and it is hoped that the present work will, perhaps, throw a faint light on the possibilities of these alloys" – Introduction, p. 1.
