Introduction

(βTi)-based ternary Fe-Nb-Ti alloys were intensively discussed in the literature for biomedical applications as both Nb and Fe can serve as β-stabilizing additions [2002Lee, 2010Hsu, 2013Zha, 2015Cha, 2016Cos, 2016Eht1, 2016Eht2, 2016Lop, 2017Cai, 2017Sal2, 2018Rab]. Some work was also done to evaluate their potential as hydrogen storage material [2013Ish, 2014Ruz]. Regarding structural applications, the very fine-grained eutectic microstructures of (βTi,Nb)+TiFe alloys were discussed [2009Par, 2014Cao...
