The microstructure and mechanical behaviour of Ni-B binary alloys have been enhanced in this study by varied titanium additions. The alloys investigated were chosen from the nickel-rich region of the Ni-B-Ti system. The microstructure of the alloys was examined using Optical Microscope (OM) and Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) equipped with Energy Dispersive X-ray Analyzer (EDXA). The addition of titanium led to the formation of various complex phases and a ternary phase τ was observed in the study. The addition of titanium to the Ni-B alloys was found to enhance the mechanical properties of the ternary alloys. Microhardness value of the alloys was observed to increase from 216.2 HV with zero Ti in Ni-B alloys to 1530.7 HV in alloys with 11 wt. % Ti. The stiffness of the alloys was also found to increase as deduced from elastic modulus value of 513.77 to 1046.51 N/m2 in Alloys C. Remarkable improvement in physical properties of the Ni-based ternary alloys is due to the formation of various hard boride phases and grain size reduction occasioned by the increase in titanium content.
