Titanium Alloys - Ti45Nb - Properties and Fabrication

May 5 2003

Chemical Formula

Ti45Nb

Background

This alloy has great compatibility and resistance to ignition in oxygen rich environments compared to commercially pure titanium. The niobium significantly increases the threshold oxygen pressure and process temperature for ignition. Strength is in the medium range, but the elastic modulus is 40% below that of commercially pure titanium and most alloys.

The UNS reference for Ti45Nb is R58450.

How are Graphene Batteries Made?

The primary distinction between graphene-based batteries and solid-state batteries lies in the composition of either electrode. Although the cathode is commonly changed, carbon allotropes can also be employed in fabricating anodes.
