Detailed explanation-1: -Pure titanium metal undergoes an allotropic transformation that changes the crystal structure from the -phase to the -phase at about 885 °C. An allotropic transformation simply means the crystal structure changes when the material is heated above or cooled below a critical temperature called the transus temperature.
