Notes:
The range of commercial titanium alloys available is currently extremely restricted, withone alloy (Ti-6Al-4V), and derivatives of it, accounting for a very large proportion of allapplications. High performance alloys are costly to fabricate and limited to low-volumeapplications that can sustain the cost. With the emergence of new processing technologies thatpromise to reduce significantly the cost of production of titanium metal, especially in powder form,there is an emerging imperative for cost-effective near net shape powder processing techniques topermit the benefit of reduced metal cost to be passed on to higher-volume applications. Equally,there is a need for the design and development of new alloys that are intrinsically low-cost and lendthemselves to fabrication by novel cost-effective net shape processing. The approaches that mightbe used to select, design and process both conventional alloys and novel alloy systems will bereviewed, with a focus on innovation in design of low-cost alloys amenable to new processing pathsand increasingly tolerant of variability in composition
