Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapterpeer-review

Abstract

For many decades, titanium has been used in the aerospace industry. It is a primary material utilized for the airframe and engine parts, respectively. The increased demand for titanium is a result of awareness of lower aircraft fuel usage. However, to enter the aerospace sector, a variety of certifications and good quality management are required. This chapter discusses the current status of titanium alloys for aerospace applications and addresses the problems with increasing the usage of titanium in this industry. Also examines the use of additive-based manufacturing, with an emphasis on parts for aerospace.
