  • ADDITIVE TECHNOLOGIES, POWDER AND COMPOSITE MATERIALS
  • Published:
Metal Science and Heat Treatment Aims and scope

The properties of existing Ti-based alloys and composites are reviewed. The effect of various alloying elements, reinforcement, and technological parameters of the powder metallurgy on the physical and mechanical properties of Ti-based alloys and composites is studied. Post-treatment conditions are discussed and optimal ways to lower the residual porosity of the composites are suggested.
