Abstract	A series of TiNbHf alloys ranging from 0-40 atomic % Nb and 0-15 atomic % Hf were evaluated to investigate low-elastic modulus phenomena which occur in this ternary system. The desirability of utilizing corrosion-resistant, biocompatible alloys with elastic modulus values approaching that of human bone for medical prosthetic implants provides an incentive for this work. Data are presented in this report which indicate that Ti alloys containing approximately 10 atomic % Nb and 1-6 atomic % Hf may be solution-heat-treated to obtain modulus values approximately 25% that of steel and 50% that of titanium. The quenched alloys may subsequently be precipitation-hardened to attain yield strengths of 125-130 Kpsi while retaining low-elastic moduli.
