Electron Beam Melting (EBM) is a metal powder bed-based Additive Manufacturing (AM) technology that makes possible the fabrication of three dimensional near-net-shaped parts directly from computer ...

Abstract: In this paper, we propose a simple and efficient approach for microstructure defect detection of Ti-6Al-4V titanium alloy based on image analysis. The proposed approach mimics the way that ...

The application of thermal barrier coatings (TBC) on titanium alloys has been widely used in aircraft turbines to maintain their properties such as low density, mechanical strength, while also ...

Researchers from China’s Nantong Institute of Technology have published a study on impact of heat treatment on the characteristics of TiB + TiC/Ti-6Al-4V composites produced via Directed Energy ...

1 Federal University of São Carlos – UFSCar, Department of Materials Engineering – DEMa, Brazil Results and Discussion: The anodized layer mainly consists of a highly ordered array of nanotubes, with ...

Additive Manufacturing technology has continually advanced, allowing microstructure and property optimization. In recent years, several studies have been carried out with the aim of understanding ...

Today, the most widely used titanium alloy for additive manufacturing applications is Ti-6Al-4V, an alloy originally developed for wrought manufacturing. While the material has successfully been used ...

Using recycled titanium from old aircrafts to build offshore wind turbines. We investigated how fast cracks grow in recycled titanium material compared to the conventionally used steel material for ...
