In contrast, the Additive Manufacturing (AM) approach allows very close to final part configuration to be directly fabricated minimizing machining cost, while achieving mechanical properties at least at cast and wrought levels. In addition, the book offers the benefit of significant savings through better material utilization for parts with high buy-to-fly ratios (ratio of initial stock mass to final part mass before and after manufacturing).
As titanium additive manufacturing has attracted considerable attention from both academicians and technologists, and has already led to many applications in aerospace and terrestrial systems, as well as in the medical industry, this book explores the unique shape making capabilities and attractive mechanical properties which make titanium an ideal material for the additive manufacturing industry.
- Includes coverage of the fundamentals of microstructural evolution in titanium alloys
- Introduces readers to the various Additive Manufacturing Technologies, such as Powder Bed Fusion (PBF) and Directed Energy Deposition (DED)
- Looks at the future of Titanium Additive Manufacturing
- Provides a complete review of the science, technology, and applications of Titanium Additive Manufacturing (AM)
Scientists, scholars and technologists who are working in the field of additive manufacturing of Titanium and those who plan to pursue research in this field; researchers involved in alloy development and design.
