In this study, A series of the high strength (T<sub>82sub>Sn<sub>18sub>)<sub>100-xsub>Nb<sub>xsub> (x=0, 1, 3, 5, and 9 at%) ultrafine eutectic alloys with large plasticity are developed by suction casting method. The Ti<sub>82sub>Sn<sub>18sub> binary eutectic alloy consists of a mixture of a hcp Ti<sub>3sub>Sn and a α-Ti phases having the plate-like lamellar type duplex structure with micro scaled eutectic colony. From the (T<sub>82sub>Sn<sub>18sub>)<sub>97sub>Nb<sub>3sub>, the alloy display structural heterogeneous distribution of ultrafine-scaled phases composed of β-Ti(Nb) solid solution surrounded by alternating plate-like shaped Ti<sub>3sub>Sn and α-Ti phases. With increasing Nb content, the volume fraction of β-Ti is continuously increased, which induced improving mechanical properties both strength and plasticity. Especially, (Ti<sub>82sub>Sn<sub>18sub>)<sub>91sub>Nb<sub>9sub> alloy has the outstanding combination of the high strength (σ<sub>ysub>≈1.1 GPa) and large plasticity (ε<sub>psub>≈36%) at room temperature.
