1. A method of processing a binary β

  • -titanium alloy, the method comprising;

    hot working a binary β

    -titanium alloy consisting essentially of titanium, from 14 weight percent to 16 weight percent molybdenum, and incidental impurities at a hot working temperature above the β

    -transus temperature of the binary β

    -titanium alloy; and

    direct aging the binary β

    -titanium alloy, wherein direct aging comprises heating the binary β

    -titanium alloy in the hot worked condition at an aging temperature ranging from 850°

    F. to 1375°

    F. for a time sufficient to form α

    -phase precipitates within the binary β

    -titanium alloy.
