Effect of Pre-Heating and Post-Weld Local Heat Treatment on the Microstructure and Mechanical Properties of Low-Cost β-Titanium Alloy Welding Joints, Obtained by EBW
Abstract:Titanium (Ti) is highly valued for its strength-to-weight ratio and corrosion resistance. However, after it is processed to a wrought, or shaped form, it is typically in excess of 40 times more expensive than the corresponding steel part and nearly 20 times more expensive than the aluminum part. The high production costs of titanium in comparison to other structural metals is the main limiting factor for the wide employment of titanium. Cost reduction can be addressed considering creative fabrication methods a… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
