Mechanical Tensile Testing of 3D-Printed Titanium 6Al-4V at Cryogenic Temperature Presentation

- Titanium 6Al-4V is a highly desired material for use in space cryogenics applications.
- Structural applications with good strength-to-weight ratios
- Thermal isolation applications
- Titanium 6Al-4V components can be fabricated via 3D-Printing which can be very beneficial to cryogenic spaceflight components:
- 3D-Printing allows parts to be made with geometries and features that are very difficult and sometimes impossible via traditional methods.
- Mass savings of components
- Increasing structural integrity of components
- Increasing thermal isolation and/or conduction of components
- Cost savings
- Schedule savings
