Surely this can't be the firs time someone thinks of making a gold titanium alloy. What did the previous attempts miss?

- the8472 10y agoOther mixes of Au/Ti have been made and used. There is plenty of prior research which the paper also cites. The phase diagram posted in another comment shows that the region in which this particular phase exist is fairly small. Additionally the paper mentions that they had to add a few trace alloying components to stabilize it in that phase. I.e. it takes some effort to get to the point. And even if you can spot a trend by lining up properties of various alloys on the right diagram, investigating that trend may be out of scope for the research you're currently doing.
