This article studies the influence of alloying elements on the structural and mechanical properties of titanium-based alloys. Titanium and its alloys are widely used in the aviation, aerospace, medical, and chemical industries due to their light weight, high corrosion resistance, and excellent mechanical properties. The studies analyzed the effect of alloying elements added to titanium-based alloys - aluminum (Al), vanadium (V), molybdenum (Mo), niobium (Nb), and other elements - and their combinations on structural changes. In particular, alloying elements change the ratio of α- and β-phases in titanium alloys, significantly affecting their crystal structure, grain size, and the stability of interphase boundaries. This article is of significant scientific and practical importance in the development of new generation titanium alloys and improving their mechanical and thermal properties.
