β¦ Synopsis
The binary titanium-5wt% aluminum alloy (VT-5) is a commonly used Russian grade of titanium. It has much higher strength compared to the well known commercially pure titanium grades; at the same time it exhibits reasonable toughness values. Hot rolled bars of this grade were to be manufactured and supplied conforming to OST I 90173-75 specification. Material was hot rolled to final size; as the hydrogen level was higher than the specified maximum, the bars were subjected to vacuum annealing. The vacuum annealed material did not meet the specification with reference to Charpy impact toughness. Repeat vacuum heat treatment was therefore carried out at a higher temperature; material was then found to be meeting all specification requirements. The paper brings out the details of failure, analysis carried out to identify the factors responsible for the failure and the rejuvenation steps taken to render the product acceptable.

Various surface engineering techniques are used to modify the surface layer of the Ti alloys to improve their tribological properties. The life of the coating can be increased by introducing intermediate hardened surface layer reducing plastic deformation of substrate material. In this paper, the te
It has been proposed that the essential requirement for artificial materials to bond to living bone is the formation of bonelike apatite on their surfaces in the body. Recent studies have shown that titanium hydrogel and silica gel induce apatite formation on their surface in a simulated body fluid.
