Since the 1960s, it has been a common practice worldwide to pursue a homogeneous
distribution of reinforcements within a matrix material, discontinuous metal matrix …

Titanium and its alloys are extensively used in a variety of high performance applications
with the α+ β alloy, Ti-6Al-4V, being the most popular. Conventionally Ti alloys in the as-cast …

The use of cryogenic coolant in metal cutting has received renewed recent attention
because liquid nitrogen is a safe, clean, non-toxic coolant that requires no expensive …

Small additions of B (⩽ 0.4 wt.%) to Ti alloys refine the as-cast microstructure significantly
and improve the alloys' mechanical performance. In this work, tensile, fracture and fatigue …

The grain refinement achieved with low boron additions to selected TiAl-based alloys was
investigated in unidirectional solidified samples by means of EBSD-orientation mapping of …

Recent trend in additive manufacturing of Ti-6Al-4V alloy is to alter the microstructure by
changing process parameters or by the addition of alloying elements to achieve the required …

Trace additions of boron to commercial purity titanium result in significant microstructural
changes. Changes include the promotion of dendritic growth and refinement in both the prior …

Abstract AB 4 C/Ti-6Al-4V (Ti64) composite powder containing a minor B 4 C content (0.2
wt%) was developed by a novel technique and was subjected to the laser powder bed …

TiC particles reinforced Ti6Al4V (TiCp/Ti6Al4V) composite with a network TiCp distribution
has been successfully fabricated by reaction hot pressing of coarse Ti6Al4V particles and …

The coarse lamellar microstructure of as-cast α+ β titanium alloys can be effectively refined
by boron additions, which has mainly been attributed to the precipitation of TiB whiskers that …
