Abstract: Titanium is a widely used material which benefits from low density, high strength and good fracture toughness. The allotropic nature of the material allows for a wide range of microstructures with in turn can be tailored to provide appropriate mechanical properties for high performance applications. Whilst this field of alloys initially found employment in a range of aerospace applications, the desirable range of properties have now allowed for use in alternative industries.
