Sustainability achievement of difficult-to-machine materials is a major concern nowadays. Titanium alloy Ti-6Al-4V machined for dry, conventional and cryogenic cooling and surface finish is selected as response to assess machining sustainability through variables: cutting power, machining time, machining cost, material removal rate and cutting tool life. Results indicate that cryogenic cooling is more sustainable than dry and conventional cooling.

The microstructure and mechanical properties of laser and mechanically formed commercially pure grade 2 titanium plates are discussed in this chapter. The microstructure of the as received parent material is compared to that resulting from laser and mechanical forming processes. Residual stress results from the two forming processes are analysed and bring to light changes brought about by these processes to the titanium used. The effect of the two forming processes on the mechanical properties is discussed, and the effect of process parameters on these properties is also argued in detail.

The aim of investigations on the chapter was to determine regularities of solid solution hardening of surface layers of titanium alloys depending on the conditions of thermodiffusion saturation in rarified gas medium containing oxygen and determine the correlations between parameters of surface-hardened layers (surface hardness, depth of hardened zone, microstructure) and fatigue properties of titanium alloys under various methods of surface hardening. To achieve the formulated aim, the following methods were used: (a) thermodiffusion saturation of titanium alloys in rarified gas medium containing oxygen in the wide range of temperature-time and gas-dynamical parameters and (b) surface deformation by ultrasonic shock and shot-blasting treatments with rapid annealing of deformed surface by means of induction heating. The positive influence of surface hardening on the fatigue characteristics is decreased under the increasing of l when K is constant. The highest relative gain of fatigue strength ( Δσ (cid:1) 1 ) of samples with CTT surface-hardened layers is marked for the low- and middle-strong alloys VT1-0 and OT4-1. Thus for alloy VT1-0, Δσ (cid:1) 1 = 35% under relative gain of surface hardness K = 70% and l = 3 0 μ m. For the near- α -alloy OT4-1, Δσ (cid:1) 1 = 38% under relative gain of surface hardness K = 35% and l = 4 5 … 50 μ m.

The unique combination of attributes—high strength to weight ratio, excellent heat treatability, a high degree of hardenability, and a remarkable hot and cold workability—has made beta titanium alloys an attractive group of materials for several aerospace applications. Titanium alloys, in general, possess a high degree of resistance to biofluid environments; beta titanium alloys with high molybdenum equivalent have low elastic modulus coming close to that of human bone, making them particularly attractive for biomedical applications. Bulk processing of the alloys for aerospace applications is carried out by double vacuum melting followed by hot working. There have been many studies with reference to super-solvus and sub-solvus forging of beta titanium alloys. For alloys with low to medium level of molybdenum equivalent, sub-solvus forging was demonstrated to result in a superior combination of mechanical properties. A number of studies have been carried out in the area of heat treatment of beta titanium alloys. Studies have also been devoted to surface modification of beta titanium alloys. The chapter attempts to review these studies, with emphasis on aerospace and biomedical applications.
