ABSTRACT Titanium and its alloys offer superior strength at a fraction of the weight of steel or nickel-based alloys. Some α-β titanium alloys such as Ti-6Al-4V have been widely used in laser powder bed fusion additive manufacturing applications due to the historical cast-wrought data sets and the availability of this alloy in powder form, however this alloy presents challenges during the laser-based printing process of components due to the high residual stress in the material. Alternative β-rich Ti alloys such ATI Titan 23™ can offer superior printability, lower residual stress, and higher mechanical properties than Ti-6Al-4V in additive manufacturing applications. This study covers the assessment of ATI Titan 23™ as an alternative printable Ti alloy and the resulting microstructure, mechanical properties, and residual stress of the printed material.

ABSTRACT α-β titanium alloys are used in armor plate applications due to their capability to defend against ballistic threats while having a 40% lower density than steel. ATI 425® was developed as a cold-deformable alternative to Ti-6Al-4V with similar ballistic properties and improved blast performance owing to the alloy’s higher damage tolerance. ATI Titan 27™ is an evolutionary step forward on ATI 425® Alloy, and is being developed as a higher-performance titanium armor alloy owing to its greater than 10% improvement in strength with similar ductility and formability. Recent work has demonstrated a novel deformation mechanism that explains the improved cold deformation observed in both alloys over Ti-6Al-4V. This mechanism, a twinning of α-phase coinciding with slip in the β-phase, is unique among high-strength titanium alloys. Moreover, twinning is well known to be suppressed with high oxygen content, and ATI Titan 27™ Alloy has one of the highest oxygen targets across high

ABSTRACT This paper reviews research that has been conducted to develop inductively assisted localized hot forming bending technologies, and to use standardized welding tests to assess the practicality and potential benefits of adopting stainless based consumables to weld both existing and evolving armor alloys. For the titanium alloy Ti6Al4V it was determined that warming the plate to circa 600°F would improve the materials ductility (as measured by reduction of area) from ~18 to 40% without exposing the material to a temperature at which atmospheric contamination would be significantly deleterious. For the commercial alloy BB and class 1 armor alloy it was found that there was little effect on the charpy impact toughness and the proof strength as a result of processing at 900 °F with either air cool or water quench and there was an added benefit of lower residual stresses in the finished bends compared to cold formed bends. Heating “alloy BB” to 1600 °F followed by water quench

ABSTRACT This paper addresses candidate technologies for attaching steels to selected lightweight materials. Materials of interest here include aluminum and titanium alloys. Metallurgical challenges for the aluminum-to-steel and titanium-to-steel combinations are first described, as well as paths to overcome these challenges. Specific joining approaches incorporating these paths are then outlined with examples for specific processes. For aluminum-to-steel joining, inertia, linear, and friction stir welding are investigated. Key elements of success included rapid thermal cycles and an appropriate topography on the steel surface. For titanium-to-steel joining, successful approaches incorporated thin refractory metal interlayers that prevented intimate contact of the parent metal species. Specific welding methods employed included resistance mash seam and upset welding. In both cases, the process provided both heat for joining and a relatively simple strain path that allowed significant

ABSTRACT The armor research and development community needs a more cost-effective, science-based approach to accelerate development of new alloys (and alloys never intended for ballistic protection) for armor applications, especially lightweight armor applications. Currently, the development and deployment of new armor alloys is based on an expert-based, trial-and-error process, which is both time-consuming and costly. This work demonstrates a systematic research approach to accelerate optimization of the thermomechanical processing (TMP) pathway, yielding optimal microstructure and maximum ballistic performance. Proof-of-principle is being performed on titanium alloy, Ti-10V-2Fe-3Al, and utilizes the Hydrawedge® unit of the Gleeble 3800 System (a servo-hydraulic thermomechanical testing device) to quickly evaluate mechanical properties and simulate rolling schedules on small samples. Resulting mechanical property and microstructure data are utilized in an artificial intelligence (AI

This research explores the experimental analysis of titanium alloy using an innovative approach involving a 2–7% carbon nanotube (CNT)-infused cubic boron nitride (CBN) grinding wheel. Employing a full-factorial design, the study systematically investigates the interactions among varied wheel speed, workpiece feed rate, and depth of cut, revealing compelling insights. The integration of CNTs in the CBN grinding wheel enhances the machining performance of titanium alloy, known for its high strength and challenging machinability. The experiment varies CNT infusion levels to assess their impact on material removal rate (MRR) and surface finish. Significantly, MRR is influenced by CNT content, with 5% and above demonstrating optimal performance. The 7% CNT-CBN wheel exhibits a remarkable 61% improvement in MRR over the conventional CBN wheel. Interaction studies highlight the pivotal role of depth of cut, indicating that slower speeds and feeds, combined with increased depth of cut

The paramount importance of titanium alloy in implant materials stems from its exceptional qualities, yet the optimization of bone integration and mitigation of wear and corrosion necessitate advanced technologies. Consequently, there has been a surge in research efforts focusing on surface modification of biomaterials to meet these challenges. This project is dedicated to enhancing the surface of titanium alloys by employing shot peening and powder coatings of titanium oxide and zinc oxide. Comparative analyses were meticulously conducted on the mechanical and wear properties of both treated and untreated specimens, ensuring uniformity in pressure, distance, and time parameters across all experiments. The outcomes underscore the efficacy of both methods in modifying the surface of the titanium alloy, leading to substantial alterations in surface properties. Notably, the treated alloy exhibited an impressive nearly 12% increase in surface hardness compared to its untreated counterpart
