The Effect of N/O Elements on the Microstructure and Mechanical Properties of Ti-N-O Alloys by Mingqi Shi, Ruiduo Chen, Chengsong Zhang, Zhenzhao Xu, Hanke Hu, Xiaolong Zhou, Guodong Cui

“…And, the O element played a leading role in regulating the microstructure and morphology of the Ti-N-O alloy. With the addition of the O element, the microstructure showed an equiaxed structure, and the characterization showed that this region is an O-enriched region, and that a small amount of nano-TiO₂ particles appeared in the alloy, which together led to the change in the microstructure. …”
