alloyed for 20 h and heat treated at 1150°C for 2 h [24].
The Vickers microhardness of titanium-alumina nanocompos-
ites increases about threefold in comparison with microcrystalline
titanium (Table 7.4). Titanium composites with 3 vol% of Al

have
better corrosion resistance than microcrystalline titanium [23].
