Additive Manufacturing of Titanium Alloys-A Review

Many high-performance components having complicated geometrical features nowadays are made by 3D printing (AM).3D printing is also known as additive manufacturing (AM).titanium alloys.Many high-performance components made out of titanium alloys are used in the manufacture of simple components to complicated turbine components such as turbine blades.The main reason for selecting titanium alloys in the manufacture of highperformance components because, they are very light, have good tensile strength, and excellent resistance to corrosion.Titanium alloys have the capability of maintaining their properties at elevated temperatures.This makes them suitable for the manufacture of components that operates at high temperatures.Many components in the aircraft industry are being made by using titanium alloys.An attempt has been made in this research work for exploring the types of titanium alloys, types of the additive manufacturing process, microstructure, properties, and applications of titanium alloys.This research paper not only attempts in presenting the current literature but also provides future directions.Thus, it is valuable for both academicians and practitioners who would like to pursue research in this field.
