The efficiency of thermomechanical processing was studied to optimize the mechanical properties of cast ternary and multicomponent hypoeutectic titanium-based alloys with silicide–boride reinforcement, produced by electron-beam crucible-skull melting. All the alloys studied exhibit low plasticity in cast state. High-temperature deformation, such as forging of samples heated to 1050°C in air, can significantly enhance the properties of the alloys: the plasticity of ternary Ti–Si–B alloys increases by four to six times (from 0.5 to 2–3%) and their fracture toughness increases by three times (from 11 to 36 MPa ∙ m0.5). The plasticity of the alloys with Zr, Al, and Sn additions increases by one order of magnitude (to 0.2–0.3%) and their fracture toughness by almost twice. The greatest high-temperature creep-rupture resistance at a fracture toughness of 26 MPa ∙ m0.5 is shown by the Ti80Zr1.2Al5.5Sn2.1Si8.7B2.5 alloy: 1038, 887, and 572 MPa at 600, 700, and 800°C, respectively.
