Quenched alloys from the Ti-Nb system are of considerable scientific and applied interest due to properties such as superconductivity, shape memory effect and high damping capacity. In this work, Ti-Nb quenched alloys with 2 wt.% Al and Nb content varying from 15 to 40% were investigated with respect to effects on phase transformations, internal friction and elastic modulus caused by the temperature up to 800°C. The results showed that the internal friction presented peaks and the elastic modulus displayed minimum values with the temperature. These results were associated with phase transformations occurring with increasing temperature.
