Excited to listen to this latest podcast from Materialism Podcast on Titanium!

Titanium and its alloys are renowned for their exceptional strength-to-weight ratio, corrosion resistance, and biocompatibility, making them essential in industries like aerospace, medical devices, and automotive. However, processing these materials—given their high melting points and the need for precise microstructural control—can be challenging.

Enter Spark Plasma Sintering (SPS) - a cutting-edge technology revolutionizing the way we process Titanium.

Here are some of the key benefits of using SPS for Titanium and its alloys:

Rapid Processing: SPS dramatically reduces sintering times, enabling quicker material development and production cycles.

Superior Densification: Achieve near-theoretical density with minimized grain growth, preserving the high-performance characteristics of Titanium.

Enhanced Properties: SPS allows precise tailoring of microstructures, improving mechanical properties like strength, ductility, and fatigue resistance.

Lower Energy Consumption: Localized heating in SPS reduces energy costs, contributing to a more sustainable manufacturing process.

Complex Compositions: SPS facilitates the sintering of advanced Titanium alloys and composites, unlocking new possibilities in high-tech applications.

Diffusion Bonding Capability: Beyond sintering, SPS excels at diffusion bonding, enabling the seamless joining of Titanium and its alloys. This opens up avenues for creating complex, high-performance components without the weaknesses associated with traditional joining methods.

At California Nanotechnologies Inc (TSX.V: CNO.V, OTCMKTS: CANOF), we’re excited to leverage the full potential of SPS, not just for sintering but also for diffusion bonding. By combining these capabilities, we’re helping our partners overcome material challenges and achieve next-generation solutions.

What applications of Titanium and SPS excite you the most? Let’s connect and explore how we can bring your ideas to life!

People have asked for a titanium Materialism Podcast episode for ages! Well, it's finally here. I have to admit... I did not realize how complex and complicated Titanium was from a materials science perspective!

Two phases with very different properties
A gazillion ways to alloy the metal and modify which phase dominates
Two different microstructures (basketweave and equiaxed)
Tons of processing routes to make these fine, coarse, or mixed...

Its specific strength is bonkers and it boasts some pretty terrific corrosion resistance. No wonder it's been a game-changer in fields ranging from aerospace to medical implants—and yes, the latest iPhones!

Some additional tidbits you'll learn about:
- how engineers used to blow things up on football fields to test it? Yes, really.
- markers that almost ruined titanium aerospace parts
- how city water was sabotaging titanium welds
- you find titanium in Oreo frosting!?
