Ti-3wt.%Nb(αtype), Ti-2oWt.%Nb(α+β, type) and Ti-4owt.%Nb(β type) alloys were melted by vacuum arc rernelting. The specimens were homogenized at 1050°C for 24 hr and were then hot rolled to 50% reduction. Each alloys were solution heat treated at ,β zone and α+ β, zone after homogenization, and then aged. The microstructural and hardness changes in Ti-Nb alloys with Nb contents were investigated by SEM, XRD and hardness tester. The microstructural change from equiaxied to acicular and the increase of β phase in Ti-Nb alloys were obtained when the Nb content increased. The higher hardness value of α+β type alloy was obtained compared to the other alloys.
