Abstract: The present invention relates to titanium base alloys, and more particularly to aluminum-molybdenum-zirconium-tin master alloys, which are suitable for further alloying into titanium base alloys. The present invention also relates to methods for producing aluminum-molybdenum-zirconium-tin master alloys, which are useful in providing titanium base alloys containing refractory materials of greater homogeneity. In accordance with the present invention, the tin: zirconium ratio is reduced from about 1:2 to about 1:1, thereby lowering the amount of excess zirconium. After the highest melting point tin: zirconium intermetallic phases have been precipitated, there is little or no excess zirconium to precipitate out with aluminum; therefore, all of the aluminum is available to combine with molybdenum to precipitate the target lower melting point intermetallic phases.
