Due to the interaction between Ti and interstitial solutes of C, N, and O, precipitation occurs at elevated temperature. The behavior has been studied in the past few years by short time annealing and results showed that it may greatly affect its mechanical properties Ti-CON type precipitates, appearing at- 700℃ in the solid-solution annealed alloy in high number density and small size, strengthen the alloy significantly and reduce its ductility. As the ductility reduction is in an acceptable level, the strengthening might be utilized for a light and strong vanadium alloy structure.
