Titanium alloys are widely used in various industries, such as medical and dental, due to their excellent properties. The alloying of titanium with copper can enhance its mechanical performance, biocompatibility, corrosion resistance, and melting point. The microstructural properties of Ti-Cu alloys are sensitive to factors like intermetallic formation and growth, which depend on the amount of copper and the manufacturing techniques used. This study aims to investigate the effect of manufacturing paths on the microstructural properties of Ti-Cu alloys, discussing various fabrication procedures and addressing the challenges, opportunities, and future perspectives.
Titanium alloys are widely used in various areas, particularly in medical and dental industries, due to their remarkable properties. Still, the optimum cutting conditions for titanium alloys are under consideration. Ti alloyed with Cu has been reported to provide unique properties such as good mechanical performance, good biocompatibility, acceptable corrosion resistance, and relatively lower melting point. The properties of Ti-Cu alloys mentioned above are sensitive to microstructure. They are highly dependent on microstructural characteristics such as the formation, growth, and morphological features of intermetallics and precipitates, dependent on the amount of Cu and the manufacturing techniques employed. This study strives to scrutinize the effect of manufacturing paths on the microstructural properties of Ti-Cu alloys. To this end, prevalent fabrication procedures for Ti-Cu binary system, from casting and powder metallurgy to semi-solid metal processing and additive manufacturing, are discussed. Finally, the challenges, opportunities, merits and demerits of each technique, and future perspective are addressed.
