AI reveals new way to strengthen titanium alloys and speed up manufacturing

Producing high-performance titanium alloy parts — whether for spacecraft, submarines or medical devices — has long been a slow, resource-intensive process. Even with advanced metal 3D-printing techniques, finding the right manufacturing conditions has required extensive testing and fine-tuning. What if these parts could be built more quickly, stronger and with near-perfect precision? A team is leveraging artificial intelligence to make that a reality. They’ve identified processing techniques that improve both the speed of production and the strength of these advanced materials — an advance with implications from the deep sea to outer space.
