Titanium is a light metal that is used in a range of application in the industry from aerospace industry to creating medical devices. Titanium possesses excellent strength and is a tough yet lightweight metal. It is widely used because of its resistance to corrosion and biocompatibility. In order to make titanium a more reliable metal to use in the industry alloys have been created in order to enhance the strength and toughness of titanium.  The aim of this paper is to understand the different methods of $\alpha$ nucleation in titanium alloys as well as understating the effects of it appearance and morphology on it its  strength. The paper chosen for study is called ” $\omega$ assisted nucleation and growth of $\alpha$ Particles” it explores the change in composition and the structure of the $\beta$ matrix according to the formation of $\alpha$ particle with varying temperature, aging times and different composition. There are a number of modern techniques used in this paper to identify these changes in the structure. They have mainly used:
