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 ...

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 ...

The technique, known as friction stir welding, has been around for about two decades and has primarily been used on aluminum. But UNO received a three-year, $4.8 million grant from the Office of Naval ...

Carbis Filtration are excited to announce that they have recently passed GTAW qualification for welding Titanium to ASME IX, and NACE MR0175/ISO 15156. This further expands their reputation and ...

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 ...

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

When Romain Grosjean's Haas car split in two and burst into flames during the 2020 Bahrain Grand Prix, it was the titanium halo that ultimately saved his life. But what few people know is that a ...

When welding large pieces of reactive metal, trailing shields keep the heat-affected zone under an argon shield. Welding titanium, stainless steel, and other reactive metals releases gases that cause ...
