“…aircraft turbine engine components, aircraft structural components, and aerospace fastener), biomedical, and military industries due to its unique properties such as: good corrosion resistance, low density, high strength-to-weight ratio, low modulus of elasticity, non-magnetic A c c e p t e d M a n u s c r i p t 10 properties, high fatigue resistance, good mechanical properties at elevated temperatures, high melting point, very short radioactive half-life, nontoxic, non-allergenic properties and biocompatibility -all in addition to its relatively low CTE [7,50,51]. The relatively low CTE of Ti-6Al-4V (as compared to copper or aluminum) is of immediate interest in high heat flux applications, as it allows for interface compatibility with other materials such as ceramic and glass while also minimizing warping and fatigue effects during thermal cycling [50].…”
