Graduate Research Theses & Dissertations

Titanium oxide (TiO2) nanotube is one of the most extensively studied nanotubes due to its wide applications in electronics and medical fields. In this study, we used electrochemical anodization to create nanotubes on commercially pure titanium (Cp-Ti) samples and examined the adhesiveness of the nanotube layer on the sample surface. Particularly we conducted micro-limiting dome height (µLDH) tests on anodized Cp-Ti foils of 38 µm thickness and 4 mm diameter at room temperature, 100℃, and 200℃. We also conducted tensile tests on standard tensile specimens of anodized Cp-Ti plate at room temperature, and 200℃. The Hitachi S-4500 Field Emission Scanning …

During the last two decades, titanium has gradually grown in stature, strength and significance to take on the recognition of being a modern and high performance metal that is noticeably stronger and concurrently lighter than the most widely chosen and used steels in a spectrum of industrial applications. Technological innovations have necessitated reduction of part weight, cost and lead time, including concurrent enhancement of performance of structural parts and components made using titanium and its alloys. This has provided the impetus to develop economically viable structural design methodologies and specifications, while at the same time bringing forth innovative and economically …

A noticeable reduction in the cost of structural components made from titanium, both commercially pure and the alloy counterpart is possible with the concept of built-up welded fabrication. Rolled sheets of the titanium material can be welded together to fabricate a built-up structural component without having to machine the part from a large billet. In this paper, the results of a recent feasibility study on the manufacturing of welded built-up I-beams for large structural applications are presented and discussed. The fillet welds were produced using the pulsed Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW-P) process. Commercially pure titanium (Grade 2) and a …
