Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The main purpose of this special collection was to gather together up-to-date knowledge from scientists, researchers and technologists in order to review the status of processing technologies, materials development, emerging applications and economics/affordability issues. The resultant scope is necessarily broad: contributors who are involved in titanium production technology, vapor, solid and liquid titanium processing/post-processing, alloy development, microstructure/property enhancement, modeling and simulation, and applications and market development were invited to participate. The diverse mix of papers presented here reflects the breadth of activity aimed at the cost-affordable use of titanium in emerging applications. The editors opening overview paper attempts to present the broad sweep of present and projected titanium cost-reduction schemes; in both titanium production and in subsequent processing. What is made particularly clear is that the impetus, in broadening markets, for titanium is very dependent upon cost reduction; particularly in cost-sensitive industries such as automobile production.

Download or read book Free Form Low Cost Fabrication Using Titanium written by and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Army weapons systems of the future will require improvements in transportability, maneuverability, and durability. These improvements can be realized through changes in materials of construction. Titanium-based alloys exhibit the exceptionally favorable strength-to-weight ratio, low density, as well as, superior resistance to erosion and impingement attack. It also displays outstanding resistance to a broad range of acids, alkalis, industrial chemicals, natural waters, and marine atmospheres. The current high costs associated with titanium-based alloys remain the main obstacle for widespread use as a material of construction. Although relatively high costs originate in the extraction and refining for the titanium based metal, the highest expenditures can be found in the fabrication of components. Free form fabrication is a growing technology that can be applied to weapons systems manufacturing. This technology utilizes digital information derived from 3D CAD data or data from 3D digitizing systems. Specialized software converts the 3D data into layered 2D data. This layered data is used by a variety of processes that join liquid, powder, or sheet materials to form parts comprised of plastic, metal, ceramic, or composite parts, in a layer upon layer manner. CAMP/Montana Tech has acquired a ProMetal R2, a three-dimensional printing machine, from The Ex One Company of Irwin, Pennsylvania. Titanium-based component fabrication with a three-dimensional printing machine, using of metals powders, and the layer-by-layer methodology, will result in a near-net shape component. For titanium components, the parts will then be subjected to a low-temperature binder removal followed by a high-temperature vacuum furnace sintering and completed by a hot isostatically press furnace stage. The process holds promise to reduce the fabrication costs for titanium components. This method is a more economical titanium fabrication technique when compared to current casting methods.
Download or read book Low Cost Titanium myth Or Reality written by and published by . This book was released on 2001 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1998, approximately 57,000 tons of titanium metal was consumed in the form of mill products (1). Only about 5% of the 4 million tons of titanium minerals consumed each year is used to produce titanium metal, with the remainder primarily used to produce titanium dioxide pigment. Titanium metal production is primarily based on the direct chlorination of rutile to produce titanium tetrachloride, which is then reduced to metal using the Kroll magnesium reduction process. The use of titanium is tied to its high strength-to-weight ratio and corrosion resistance. Aerospace is the largest application for titanium, and titanium cost has prevented its use in non-aerospace applications including the automotive and heavy vehicle industries.

Download or read book Titanium written by So-mi Sŏng and published by Rand Corporation Monograph. This book was released on 2009 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Titanium accounts for a significant portion of the structural weight of many aircraft. Its high strength-to-weight ratio, high strength at high temperatures, corrosion resistance, and thermal stability make it ideal for airframe structures. However, in recent years a combination of multiple factors has caused a major spike in titanium prices that is expected to significantly influence the acquisition costs of future aircraft. This monograph examines the titanium industrial base, titanium production technology, and the factors underlying price fluctuations in the titanium market to assess their implications for the production cost of future airframes. The authors also suggest how the Department of Defense might mitigate the economic risks involved in the titanium market and reduce the cost of raw materials used in military airframes. In contrast with existing studies, which mainly focus on aircraft demand cycles in analyzing titanium price fluctuations, the monograph highlights the role of supply-side drivers, China's impact on the titanium market through cross-market substitution effect, the significance of industrial demand, and the increase in spot market transactions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The titanium industry has been developing for nearly 70 years since the birth of Ti-6Al-4 V alloy. Due to its high specific strength, high and low-temperature resistance, corrosion resistance and good biocompatibility, titanium alloy is used in aerospace, marine engineering, and biomedical fields. However, the high production cost of titanium alloys currently limits their widespread use like steel and aluminum alloys. Therefore, the low-cost preparation technology for titanium alloys becomes hot research in recent years. This chapter provides a comprehensive overview of low-cost preparation technologies for titanium alloys from four aspects: raw materials, melting, hot working and machining, and advanced technologies. This review would be of interest to scholars in related fields.
