However, wide scale adoption of β-titanium alloys in transportation applications has been limited due to its high cost. The cost of β-titanium alloys can be lowered by replacing the expensive β stabilizers such as Mo, Cr and V (in full or in part) by low cost Fe such as the case in Ti–1Al–8V–5Fe (Ti-185) alloy introduced in 1960s.
