Titanium Alloys for Aerospace Applications

Abstract: There is probably no other material more closely related to aerospace than titanium and its alloys. With a density of 4.5g/cm3, titanium alloys are only about half as heavy as steel or Ni‐based superalloys, yielding an excellent strength‐to‐weight ratio. Furthermore, they have exceptional corrosion resistance. The use of titanium alloys in the aerospace sector will be highlighted including airframe, engine, helicopter, and space applications.

“…In many cases it is important to ensure a set of properties, for example a combination of high fatigue strength, corrosion and erosion resistance along with a low specific weight of such items as high-load parts of power units and aircrafts. Ti alloys are widely used in practice for this purpose [1]. Ti alloys have a much higher specific strength as compared to refractory steels and Ni alloys [1,2].…”

“…Ti-6Al-4V titanium alloy was widely used in the aerospace and military industries due to its excellent specific strength, high shear modulus, low density and thermal expansion coefficient [1][2][3]. However, traditional manufacturing methods of Ti-6Al-4V titanium alloy, such as forging or cutting, which have the disadvantages of a high buy-to-fly ratio and low manufacturing flexibility, are not economical.…”

“…The laser additive manufacturing (LAM) process which fabricates Ti-6Al-4V titanium alloy with a near net shape has no restriction in the component shapes. It has been popular in recent studies [4][5][6][7] and has been widely used to fabricate complex components in aerospace and other industries [1]. The typical grain structure in the fabricated Ti-6Al-4V titanium alloy samples is coarse columnar prior β grains, which arise due to high temperature gradients and distribute approximately parallel to the building direction [8].…”
