Abstract
A method of producing a hot-worked titanium product in which a minute quantity of a workability-enhancing agent is incorporated in the melting charge. The agent may be yttrium, a rare earth of atomic number 57 to 71, or combinations thereof, and may be in the form of the metal itself or a compound, such as the oxide. The agent has the effect of making bodies of the material more workable; that is, more drastic working is achieved without reheating of the material between hot-working steps, yet any significant surface-cracking is avoided in the product.
