There was a little effect of Ti-doped on Tc onset but the lower of Tc offset were found that agree with the melting found on surface of sample with Ti-doped. The peritectic temperature of Y134 powder, and Y134 + 0.10Ti were on the same range about with more peak area of pure Y134 than Y134 with Ti-doping.
