3D Printing Paves Way for “Designer” Titanium Alloys — Researchers have developed |
A collaborative research team has developed a new class of titanium alloys that are strong and ductile rather than brittle. The innovative design combines the use of alloy with 3D-printing processes, potentially revolutionizing applications in sectors like aerospace, biomedical, chemical engineering, space, and energy. These alloys comprise a blend of alpha-titanium and beta-titanium phases, with the added use of oxygen and iron as stabilizers and strengtheners.
“Reusing waste and low-quality materials has the potential to add economic value and reduce the high carbon footprint of the titanium industry,” said Qian from RMIT’s Centre for Additive Manufacturing in the School of Engineering. Two challenges have hindered the development of strong and ductile alpha-beta titanium-oxygen-iron alloys through the conventional manufacturing processes, Qian said.
The attractive properties of these new alloys that can rival those of commercial alloys are attributed to their microstructure, the team says.
