Titanium Alloys and Their Characteristics: Part Two

All elements which are within the range 0.85-1.15 of the atomic radius of titanium alloy substitutionally and have a significant solubility in titanium. Elements with an atomic radius less than 0.59 that of Ti occupy interstitial sites and also have substantial solubility (e.g. H, N, O, C). The ease with which solutes dissolve in titanium makes it difficult to design precipitation-hardened alloys.

Titanium Aluminide Alloys: Part One

TiAl alloy is a new alloy based on intermetallic compounds and is characterized by the properties of light weight and high strength.
Two-phase TiAl alloys have been receiving considerable attentions because of their attractive properties, such as the low density, excellent high-temperature strength, and good oxidation resistance.

Titanium and Its Alloys: Selection of Materials and Applications

In selecting titanium and its alloys for any particular application, the engineer must consider both the economic and technological justification for the utilization of this metal in specific components.
Even at the current premium price of titanium, many items for civilian and military uses are justifiable in titanium. In many items the initial high cost of the material is compensated for either by the advantages of weight reduction due to the low density of the metal or by the increased life of the component due to high corrosion resistance of the metal.

Titanium and Titanium Alloys

Since the introduction of titanium and titanium alloys in the early 1950s, these materials have in a relatively short time become backbone materials for the aerospace, energy, and chemical industries.
The combination of high strength-to-weight ratio, excellent mechanical properties, and corrosion resistance makes titanium the best material choice for many critical applications. Today, titanium alloys are used for demanding applications such as static and rotating gas turbine engine components. Some of the most critical and highly-stressed civilian and military airframe parts are made of these alloys...

Titanium Powder Metallurgy Alloys

Titanium powder metallurgy can produce high performance and low cost titanium parts. Compared with those by conventional processes, high performance P/M titanium parts have many advantages: excellent mechanical properties, near-net-shape and low cost, being easy to fabricate complex shape parts, full dense material, no inner defect, fine and uniform microstructure, no texture, no segregation, low internal stress, excellent stability of dimension and being easy to fabricate titanium based composite parts.
