A titanium alloy having excellent high-temperature oxidation and corrosion
resistance is disclosed which comprises, by mass, Al: 0.30 1.50%, and Si:
0.10 1.0%. Preferably, amass ratio Si/Al is not less than 1/3. More
preferably, the titanium alloy further comprises Nb: 0.1 0.5% by mass.
The titanium alloy is useful as an exhaust system material for a vehicle
or a motorbike, which enhances corrosion and high-temperature oxidation
resistance, while utilizing inherent lightness and corrosion resistance
of an original titanium alloy without impairing economy and workability.
