ABSTRACT The U.S. Army identified the use of advanced materials in next generation combat vehicles design as a focal technology area of interest and urged industry to develop replacements that realize weight, sustainment, and cost savings. An initial life cycle analysis suggests that using Titanium road wheels as an alternative to legacy road wheels could cut 555.6 lbs. and reduce cost by $39,760.00 per each M-1 tank over a life cycle of 8,000 mi, resulting with $71.72 savings per each pound reduced. Secondary side-effects of the weight reduction achieved by the Titanium road wheels include improvements such as fuel economy, mobility, transportability, and risk-reduction in the inclusion of emerging metal matrix composite technologies in next generation combat vehicles. The paper recommends conducting field evaluation and considering the application of Titanium road wheels in the M-1/M-88, M-109, AMPV, MPF, OMFV, DLP/FDL, and RCV (H) platforms Citation: R.

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 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.

The dissimilar welding of titanium to steel enables the integration of the advantageous properties of both metals, facilitating the design of lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and high-strength multifunctional composite structures. However, significant differences in their thermophysical properties pose substantial technical challenges in practical welding scenarios, necessitating careful selection of process parameters to enhance the quality and performance of the weld joint. This article establishes a support vector machine (SVM) model with laser power, welding speed, and laser spot diameter as independent variables, and the maximum residual stress and minimum yield strength of the weld joint as dependent variables. To improve prediction accuracy, the SVM model is optimized using the beluga whale optimization (BWO) algorithm. Taking the established model as the objective function, the multi-objective salp swarm algorithm (MSSA) is employed to optimize the laser welding process

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

The Electroimpact Automatic Fan Cowl Riveter exhibits new and unique design features and automated process capabilities that address and overcome three primary technical challenges. The first challenge is satisfying the customer-driven requirement to access the entire fastening area of the fan cowl doors. This necessitates a unique machine design which is capable of fitting ‘inside’ a fan cowl door radius. The second challenge is determining drill geometry and drill process parameters which can produce consistent and high-quality countersunk holes in varying mixed-metal stack-up combinations consisting of aluminum, titanium, and stainless steel. The third challenge is providing the capability of fully automatic wet installation of hollow-ended titanium rivets. This requires an IML-side countersinking operation, depositing sealant throughout the OML and IML countersinks and the hole, automatically feeding and inserting a rivet which is only 5mm long and 6mm in head diameter and flaring

Researchers have created electrostatic materials that function even with extremely weak ultrasound, heralding the era of permanent implantable electronic devices in biomedicine. Recent research explores implantable medical devices that operate wirelessly, yet finding a safe energy source and protective materials remains challenging. Presently, titanium (Ti) is used due to its biocompatibility and durability. However, radio waves cannot pass through this metal, necessitating a separate antenna for wireless power transmission. Consequently, this enlarges the device size, creating more discomfort for patients

Over the years the vehicle population has drastically grown which increases the number of road accidents. The accident severity caused fatality and disability being reduced by introducing energy absorption materials (Crash tube). Over the years, researchers have used aluminium, magnesium, and titanium crash tubes to enhance the energy absorption characteristics during different crash scenarios. However crash tube will possess sufficient rigidity to absorb the impact force during collision but it is still challenging to identify the right material. At the same time, this paper aims to examine the energy absorption characteristics of Aluminium-Magnesium hybrid material (Al-Mg 5456) crash tube designs. Three designs were considered square, cylindrical, and hexagonal designs along with different notch designs to minimize the weight percentage of tubes. The LSDYNA results the oval notches performed better in energy absorption when compared to other designs. Hence, the present findings can

Solid rods of dissimilar metals are easily welded by friction welding. This process is a solid-state process where no fumes or gases are released which is friendly to the environment. In advanced engineering practice, joining Titanium (Ti) alloy and stainless steel (SS) is very important due to poor bonding strength in direct joining. These materials are easily joined by an interlayer technique using materials like nickel, silver, niobium, aluminum, and copper. Special surface geometry techniques hold the interlayer materials between dissimilar metals in different forms like coating, foils, and solid metals. In this investigation, the finite element method is used for modeling the process, and the Johnson-cook equation was used to find the analysis of output values with the defined material properties. The heat generated is calculated and numerically compared and analyzed with experimental results. Observations such as metallography, hardness, and tensile test were studied. The results

In fast breeder reactors, materials such as 10Zr-15Si titanium modified austenitic stainless steel are utilised for the cladding and wrapping of the fuel. Using Al/Zn ratios of 8 and 12 and a constant carbon content of 0.05%, the temperature dependency of the improved alloy's low cycle fatigue life was studied throughout a temperature range of 433-764 K. This evaluation was carried out over the whole temperature range. Under both of these circumstances and at all temperatures, cyclic hardening was seen in the alloy. Based on the cyclic stress response and micro processes of deformation, three temperature regions in the range of 433-764 K have been discovered for the alloy with an Al/Zn ratio. These temperature domains are as follows: predynamic strain ageing regime, dynamic strain ageing regime, and regime with active precipitation processes. All of these temperature domains occur between 433 and 764 K. The temperature dependence of fatigue life in both alloys revealed a peak at 573 K

Sustainable manufacturing, a term that has been used in the recent past on numerous occasions. A primary reason for it being in limelight, is that it does not cause any damage to the environment and also to the personal involved. Additionally, another important parameter of concern is the energy consumed during the machining process. One major reason for higher energy consumption is because of the presence of tool vibration. There have been several attempts made to reduce vibration and though they have been proved to be effective, they could be not classified under sustainable manufacturing. When used as a semi-active damper in metal cutting, magnetorheological fluid (MRF) has proven to be successful in vibration suppression. MRF is an intelligent non-Newtonian fluid that can change its viscosity instantly when a magnetic field is applied to it. They've utilised it as a damper in a number of areas because of this quality and its toughness. One significant drawback is the settling of

Surface integrity is an important factor in the effective functioning of a component. For this reason, the surface finish is given as meticulous attention as possible, while quality checks are rigorous. The process parameters affecting surface roughness are carefully controlled, with many preventive measures enforced to avoid deviation from the tolerance limits. Surface finish is an important part of the load-bearing properties of a surface as the asperities on its surface first come into contact with the mating surfaces. On contact, the asperities are flattened, and there is debris formation. These asperities are critical in joint replacements where Titanium is a material of choice, as the debris can react with bones and even cause necrosis of bone. The surface finish of Titanium is important as the asperities can function as points of stress when subjected to loads. Stress concentrators are detrimental to a material’s life; therefore, a part’s surface finish becomes critical. This

Wire Electrical Discharge Machining (WEDM) is a variant of the electrical discharge machining (EDM) process, which represents an innovative method for the removal of material from a workpiece. The aforementioned process is frequently employed for the machining of harder materials that possess intricate geometries. Titanium alloys are a class of lightweight materials that find extensive utilization in many technical applications. Titanium Grade-5 is a titanium-based alloy that exhibits enhanced mechanical strength and improved resistance to corrosion. The objective of this exploratory analysis is to establish empirical correlations between the selected input variables, namely ‘Pulse on,’ ‘Pulse off,’ and peak current, and the desired output measures, which are material removal rate and surface roughness. The experimental design employed the Taguchi method to effectively organize the combination of tests by considering input factors. Multiple regression analysis has been developed to

In the 1st generation Toyota "MIRAI" fuel cell stack, carbon protective surface coating is deposited after individual Ti bipolar plate being press-formed into the desired shape. Such a process has relatively low production speed, not ideal for large scale manufacturing. A new coating concept, consisting of a nanostructured composite layer of titanium oxide and carbon particles, was devised to enable the incorporation of both the surface treatment and the press processes into the roll-to-roll production line. The initial coating showed higher than expected contact resistance, of which the root cause was identified as nitrogen contamination during the annealing step that inhibited the formation of the composite film structure. Upon the implementation of a vacuum furnace chamber as the countermeasure, the issue was resolved, and the improved coating could meet all the requirements of productivity, conductivity, and durability for use in the newer generation of fuel cell stacks

This research paper determines the vibrational response of different weight percentages of titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles on carbon/epoxy composite tubes. The modal analysis was performed using Ansys Composite PrepPost (ACP) with fixed-fixed and cantilever boundary conditions. The models were analyzed with a winding angle of ±55° and compared with winding angles ±65° and ±75°. Modal analysis was also performed by embracing flax fibers on Carbon Fiber-Reinforced Polymers (CFRP) nanocomposite tubes with different layering sequences such as Carbon/Carbon/Carbon/Flax (C/C/C/F), Carbon/Flax/Carbon/Flax (C/F/C/F), and Carbon/Flax/Flax/Flax (C/F/F/F). The results indicated that, by the addition of TiO2 nanoparticles, the natural frequency of CFRP nanocomposite tubes gets increased. The natural frequencies were found to be higher in the fixed-fixed case than in cantilever conditions. The natural frequency of nanocomposite tubes with a winding angle of ±55° had shown approximately 4% and

The element niobium (Nb), a transition metal, stands ready to improve the performance of one of the lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery’s confusing array of possible electrode chemistries — the LTO (lithium titanium oxide) anode, which after graphite is the second most-produced. During battery charging, lithium ions leave the positive cathode and move through the battery’s electrolyte to take up positions of higher energy in the anode. During discharge, this process reverses and drives electrons through an external circuit to power the load

Performance evaluation of martensitic press-hardened steels by VDA 238-100 three-point bend testing has become commonplace. Significant influences on bending performance exist from both surface considerations related to both decarburization and substrate-coating interaction and base martensitic steel considerations such as structural heterogeneity, i.e., banding, prior austenite grain size, titanium nitride (TiN) dispersion, mobile hydrogen, and the extent of martensite tempering as result auto-tempering upon quenching or paint baking during vehicle manufacturing. Deconvolution of such effects is challenging in practice, but it is increasingly accepted that surface considerations play an outsized role in bending performance. For specified surface conditions, however, the base steel microstructure can greatly influence bending performance and associated crash ductility to meet safety and mass-efficiency targets. This study reports and elucidates the positive effect of niobium
