Alpha and beta phases
The atoms of pure titanium align in the solid state in either a hexagonal close-packed crystalline structure, called the alpha (α) phase, or a body-centred cubic structure, called the beta (β) phase. In the pure metal, transformation from the alpha to…

…crystalline forms known as the alpha (α), beta (β), and gamma (γ) phases. Transformation from the alpha to the beta phase occurs at 668 °C (1,234 °F) and from the beta to the gamma phase at 775 °C (1,427 °F). Gamma uranium has a body-centered cubic (bcc) crystal structure, while…
