Naval researchers are exploring the use of titanium for future ship design by using a new welding technique that makes the metal and its alloys more cost-effective and easier to manufacture. A project ...

Participants at a workshop exploring the use of titanium structure for ships found that it is not only possible to construct a ship hull from titanium—or Ti, it could be cost effective. The workshop ...

Dissimilar metal welding of titanium and aluminum alloys presents a multifaceted challenge owing to the inherent differences in their thermophysical properties and chemical affinities. The joining of ...

Researchers say the process is more efficient than traditional welding techniques; in this case, the panels at the advanced manufacturing center were welded in one pass, Brailsford said. The center ...

Titanium and its alloys have been intensively investigated in biomedical applications including artificial joints, because of their excellent resistance to corrosion, elastic modulus characteristics, ...
