“…They have a well-established position in aviation and aerospace [7,9,10,30]. Titanium sheets are increasingly used in the automotive [13,14,18,19] and medical industries [17,20,21,25], and recently also in civil engineering [5] as well as in offshore structures [22,28]. The growing interest in the use of titanium sheet products is due to the excellent properties of titanium, including high specific strength (strengthto-weight ratio) and good resistance to most corrosive environments.…”

Due to the increase in the application of titanium components made of thin titanium sheets, in the work titanium panels made of 4 mm thick sheets are analysed. To increase the rigidity of the panels, some cross-shaped stiffeners were made. Such panels enable a reduction in weight while maintaining the existing strength of the drawn parts. Three kinds of commercially pure titanium are considered: Grade 1, 2 and 3. Numerical calculations were performed with PamStamp 2G based on the finite element method. The basic mechanical and technological properties of the analysed sheets, which are necessary for numerical modelling, were determined by static tensile testing. The friction coefficient was assumed based on the literature. On the basis of the performed numerical analyses, it was stated that the proper forming of panels with stiffeners depends not only on the drawability of the sheets but also on the technological parameters such as blank holder force and frictional conditions.

Abstract. In this paper, aluminum alloy and titanium as the research object, the resistance spot welding and post-weld heat treatment were conducted to study the Al/Ti interface reaction layer formation and growth characteristics. Besides, the effect of heat treatment temperature on the growth of Al/Ti bonded interface was investigated under the same heat treatment time. The results show that TiAl3 is the only new phase formed during the heat preservation process. At the same holding time, the thickness of the Al/Ti interface reaction layer increases exponentially with the increase of the heat treatment temperature.

“…In automobiles, exhaust systems could save as much as 50% of their current weight by integrating titanium parts, and titanium could be benefi cial in numerous parts including valves and valve springs, connecting rods, and suspension springs. 4 A market comparison of engineering metals shows that steel is the most widely used material with 725 million tonnes used each year. Aluminum, stainless steel, and copper are used at a rate of 20 million tonnes, 14.5 million tonnes, and 11 million tonnes, respectively.…”
