Additional information

This paper was published in a leading international journal (IF 1.976. Citations 7) and provides fundamental understanding of the relationship between microstructure and texture and the effect on mechanical properties of titanium alloys. The programme was supported by private funding (£420k) from Rolls-Royce and lifing correlations based on the work were applied to the Ti6-4 lift-fan in the F136 Joint Strike Fighter, allowing development on this engine through to 2011. More recently the correlations have been transferred to other engine marks and alloys, allowing extended operation of in service alloys through reducing conservative safety margins.
