Ti-23Nb-0.7Ta-(0, 2)Zr-(1.2, 4, 6, 10)O alloys were prepared using a non-consumable arc-melting method. The tensile property of Ti-23Nb-0.7Ta-2Zr-1.2O alloys was tested at temperatures from −196 °C to 750 °C. The influence of O and Zr contents on thermal forgeability, room-temperature hardness and tensile property at 750 °C was investigated. For Ti-23Nb-0.7Ta-2Zr-1.2O alloy, the tensile strength decreased, and the ductility increased with the temperature increase. O and Zr had a negative effect on the thermal forgeability. Room-temperature hardness and tensile strength increased with an increase in O and Zr contents due to interstitial, solid solution strengthening and second-phase strengthening. All of the alloys exhibited high ductility at 750 °C with the total elongation above 34% and reductions in area above 80%.
