Various works have indicated that the titanium alloys formed by Tiss (ss-solid solution) and Ti6Si2B present potential for high-temperature structural applications and fabrication of orthopedic implants due to the low crystallographic anisotropy of Ti6Si2B and osseointegration features of the Ti-10Si-5B alloy (at.-%), respectively. However, the Ti6Si2B compound exists in a narrow single-phase region close to the Ti-22,2Si-11,1B composition alloy (at.-%) and the alloying addition can contribute to extend its stability region avoiding the formation of Ti5Si3. In this regard, the present work evaluates the effect of copper or tungsten addition on the Ti6Si2B stability, varying their amounts in 2 and 6 at.-%. To obtain the chemical and microstructural homogeneities the quaternary alloys were produced by high-energy ball milling and subsequent sintering. The phase transformations occurred during milling and sintering of the Ti-Cu-Si-B and Ti-W-Si-B powders were evaluated by the X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and energy dispersive spectrometry (EDS). In the Ti-Cu-Si-B powder mixtures, the peaks of silicone and copper disappeared after 180 min of milling suggesting that occurred their dissolution into the titanium lattice whereas the Ti6Si2B phase was formed in the sintered samples. However, the Ti5Si3 phase and others iron-rich regions were also identified in microstructure of the sintered Ti-2Cu-22,2Si-11,1B alloy. In Ti-W-Si-B mixtures, the Ti6Si2B and Ti5Si3 phases were identified in all milling times, including alloys produced by adhered powders on the milling tools. Only the Ti-2W-22Si-11B at.-% mixture milled for 300 min got a nearly full densification after sintering. In the same alloy, a phase with stoichiometry close to Ti2W was identified by microanalysis via EDS. The other alloys from the Ti-W-Si-B system showed a significant amount of pores in their microstructures. Tungsten is preferably dissolved in the unknown and Ti5Si3 phases. Iron contents were detected with greater evidence in alloys produced by milling for 10 h.
