| Abstract Scope |
The strength of Titanium increases monotonically with oxygen, accompanied by a drastic reduction in ductility. This trade-off between strength and ductility can be overcome by intentionally deploying rare earth nano oxides in an otherwise low-oxygen Titanium. The seemingly distinct strategy offers a design pathway towards achieving strength-ductility synergy in metallic Titanium. The first step is to synthesise high purity titanium powder with an oxygen content lower than 500 ppm. This paper presents a bottom-up approach for synthesizing such powder and reports the preliminary results. |
