Developing new, high-performance titanium alloys by metal 3D printing

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

This project aims to develop a new class of titanium alloys by 3D metal printing that have excellent mechanical properties. The project expects to develop the knowledge to overcome the problems of conventional titanium alloys that have undesirably coarse columnar-grained microstructures. The expected outcome is a new design strategy for the use of 3D printing to make metal alloys This should lead to the widespread adoption of 3D metal printing for the production of structural parts for which reliably high-quality mechanical properties are of the utmost importance, and could transform the use of titanium in the biomedical and aerospace industries.
