Ultrasonic Additive Manufacturing of High‑Strength Titanium Joints Using Engineered Interlayers
TS-073622 —
Titanium alloys such as Ti‑6Al‑4V are highly valued in aerospace, defense, and advanced manufacturing, but they remain difficult and costly to join and build additively. Conventional fusion welding and powder‑based additive manufacturing can introduce defects, residual stresses, distortion, …

Robotic High‑Energy Hammering for Localized Microstructure and Stress Control
TS-073070 —
Manufacturers need a flexible way to improve the quality of local material regions without heavy, fixed tooling or shallow, low‑energy peening. Today’s options often deliver limited depth of improvement, struggle on complex shapes, and can overload robots or require rework. A practical solutio…

Image-Guided Incremental Bending of Orthopedic Fixation Plates for Personalized Fit
TS-073051 —
Surgeons routinely hand‑bend standard titanium or stainless‑steel fixation plates to conform to patient anatomy, a manual process that is time‑consuming, inconsistent, and prone to gaps, reversed bends, and unfavorable residual stress. Each of these factors can compromise fixation and outcom…

Computational Design of Experiment Framework for Processing of Metal Alloys
TS-067792 — A software tool for optimizing the manufacturing process for metal alloys.
Metallic alloys are composed of a homogeneous mixture of two or more metals or of metals and nonmetal or metalloid elements to provide specific characteristics or structural properties. Alloys are used in many applications, such as aircraft, offshore drilling, automobiles, and others.
