Engineers at Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology (RMIT) have developed a new type of 3D-printed titanium alloy that is significantly cheaper and stronger than the current industry standard.

A large titanium fuel tank produced via 3D printing has passed a critical durability test, withstanding extreme temperatures ...

A team of researchers has created a new class of titanium alloys that are strong and not brittle under tension, by integrating alloy and 3D-printing process designs. They say they embedded ...

Revenues from Ordinary Activities up 470% and Revenues from Contracts with Customers from Continuing Operations up 722% to ...

For reference, most commercial titanium alloys top out at around 1,000 MPa. This is also the highest specific strength for any other 3D-printed metal alloy, the team says.

Being 3D-printed, these new alloys are created in the exact shapes required – but the metal's properties can also be tailored to what you're making – hence the nickname "designer" titanium alloys.

Manufacturers have used Grade 5 titanium in everything from sporting equipment to aircraft turbines. During the event, Yang stated that Grade 5 titanium is, "an alloy that has even higher tensile ...
