Abstract

The results of the application of nanostructured titanium alloys, in particular the VT6 alloy, for the manufacture of hollow structures by superplastic forming and by a method combining it with pressure welding, are presented. Possibilities of the application of nanostructured titanium alloys are shown by the example of the formation of dome-shaped shells, models of a hollow blade of a jet engine fan, and weld-fabricated semi products.
