Figure 3

Structure of Tix alloys in sintered and annealed state, backscattered electron (BSE) SEM micrographs. It can be seen that FCC grains in all materials coarsened as well as the oxides (black dots). There are visible lines of coarsest oxides in the case of (Ti0.3) and (Ti0.7); these oxides probably copy the shape of original powder particles. There are also very fine particles inside the grains (best seen in case of (Ti0.7A); these particles are suspected to not be the oxides but intermetallic particles. Please note that the light grey–dark grey contrast between FCC grains is caused by different crystallographic orientation.
