ADVANCED MATERIALS & PROCESSES | MARCH 2024 23 for identifying large MTRs that can then be further analyzed using more detailed methods like EBSD. Recently, GE Aerospace has developed a Surface Wave Ultrasonic Testing (SWUT) MTR inspection technique that qualitatively correlates with EBSD measurements. This technique is applicable to on-wing MTR assessment as well as billet and forging slices, offering a promising alternative to traditional methods[4]. In the domain of cold dwell fatigue life prediction, there has been a concerted effort in developing physics-based models that capture the complexities associated with cold-dwell fatigue. P&W and RTRC have introduced a probabilistic modeling framework applicable to various loading conditions, aiding in predicting component life and guiding design optimization[5]. SUMMARY Despite the challenges brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic, the future of the titanium industry is optimistic. New melt and forge capacities are coming online, and the industry is witnessing the maturation of additive manufacturing technologies, particularly in large-format DED and LPBF. Collaboration among various stakeholders, including government agencies, industry, academia, and small businesses, remains robust and has led to the development of rapid, low-cost, and large-area characterization methods for microtexture as well as new alloy and process developments. ~AM&P For more information: Vasisht Venkatesh, Sr. Technical Fellow, Pratt & Whitney Materials & Processes Engineering, 400 Main Street M/S 114-43, East Hartford, CT 06118, 860.557.4320, vasisht.venkatesh@prattwhitney.com References 1.
