A method for preparing titanium alloy that is created to be formed into a bearing component, wherein the titanium alloy comprises from 5 to 7 wt % Al, from 3.5 to 4.5 wt % V, from 0.5 to 1.5 wt % Mo, from 2.5 to 4.5 wt % Fe, from 2.5 to 4.5 wt % Fe, and from 0.05 to 2 wt % Cr. The alloy can optionally include one or more of the following elements: up to 2.5 wt % Zr, up to 2.5 wt % Sn, and up to 0.5 wt % C. The balance of the composition comprises Ti together with unavoidable impurities. The alloy is heated to a temperature T below the (&#x3b1;+&#x3b2;/&#x3b2;)-transition temperature T&#x3b2; and then quenched. The alloy is then aged a temperature of from 400 to 600&#xb0; C.
