Research on metastable β Ti alloys has recently shown the possibility to achieve outstanding ductility and work hardening behaviours by engineering the materials’ unique strain transformable attributes and responses to heat treatment. As quenching is... Read More about Identification of an affordable and printable metastable β Ti alloy with outstanding deformation behaviour for use in laser powder bed fusion.

Additive manufacturing of Ti-6Al-4V alloy via laser powder-bed fusion leads to non-equilibrium 𝛼′ martensitic microstructures, with high strength but poor ductility and toughness. These properties may be modified by heat treatments, whereby the 𝛼′ ph...

Microstructural evolution in laser melted boron alloyed Ti-6Al-4V (2024)
Journal Article
Hizli, H., Zou, Z., Murray, J., Clare, A., & Simonelli, M. (2024). Microstructural evolution in laser melted boron alloyed Ti-6Al-4V. Journal of Alloys and Compounds, 981, Article 173762

Grain refinement in cast titanium alloys has been demonstrated through the addition of boron (B) in hypoeutectic concentration. However, there is still a poor understanding of how effective B is towards microstructural refinement under rapid solidifi...
