Titanium alloys used in aerospace structures require joints of high integrity to meet the
design requirements. Gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW), laser beam welding (LBW) and …

Reactive metals including titanium readily oxidise and should be protected from the
atmosphere during Additive Manufacturing processes. This work explores the sensitivity of Ti …

To prevent oxygen contamination, additive manufacturing (AM) techniques normally operate
in an inert gas chamber (GC). An alternative method, useful for large builds and components …

Oxygen and nitrogen have been both known to have a strong hardening effect on Ti and its
alloys, while also imposing a serious embrittlement effect. In the present work, Ti samples …

In this present investigation, rotary friction welding has been used to join Ti64 rods. Different
heat treatments namely α-β and β with stress-relieving (SR) were carried out before welding …

Titanium and its alloys are extensively used in automobile, aerospace and biomedical
applications. There are many problems associated with the fusion welding of titanium. Thus …

Wire arc additive manufacturing (WAAM) of titanium parts shows promising potential for
aerospace application due to its high deposition rates allowing a fast and economical …

Linear friction welding was used to join Ti–3Al–8V–6Cr–4Mo–4Zr alloy under different
pressures, and the microstructure, texture evolution and mechanical properties of the joint …

The Ti-24Al-15Nb-1.5 Mo alloy, in the as-forged and heat-treated states, was joined to the as-
forged TC11 titanium alloy by electron beam welding with the heat inputs of 135 and 150 …

The microstructure and defects in the weld zone affect the weldment characteristics. One
way to improve the microstructure and reduce the defects in the weld zone is by using a filler …
