Abstract: A method of titanium rod additive manufacturing may comprise: mixing a plurality of powdered metals comprising titanium, iron, vanadium, and aluminum to produce a powder blend; isostatic pressing the powder blend to form a billet having a cross-sectional profile; cutting the billet to form a rod feedstock having the first cross-sectional profile; loading the rod feedstock into an additive manufacturing machine configured to deposit the rod feedstock; and producing a metallic component from the rod feedstock.

Abstract: A metallic part is disclosed. The part may comprise a functionally graded monolithic structure characterized by a variation between a first material composition of a tubular preform and a second material composition of at least one of a secondary structural element wherein each of the first material composition and the second material composition comprises at least one of a titanium metal or an alloy of titanium. The first material composition may comprise an alpha-beta titanium alloy. The second material composition may comprise a beta titanium alloy.

Abstract: A method of forming a rod feedstock for titanium stir friction welding additive manufacturing may comprise: mixing a plurality of powdered metals comprising titanium, iron, vanadium, and aluminum to produce a powder blend; at least one of die pressing the powder blend to form a die pressed powder or continuously powder rolling the powder blend to form a die pressed powder; and sintering the powder blend to form a rod feedstock having a cross-sectional profile.

Abstract: A method of titanium wire additive manufacturing is disclosed. The method may comprise mixing a plurality of powdered metals comprising titanium, iron, vanadium, and aluminum to produce a powder blend, sintering the powder blend to form a billet, performing a wire forming operation to produce a worked wire, heat treating the worked wire to produce a heat treaded wire, loading the heat treated wire into a wirefeed additive manufacturing machine, and producing a metallic component from the heat treated wire. The titanium may be a titanium hydride powder.

Abstract: The present disclosure includes landing gear components, such as an outer cylinder of a shock strut assembly. The outer cylinder includes one or more structural attachment pins configured to engage with other components of the landing gear including pintle frames, drag braces, and torque links. The pins include a cobalt alloy mated to a receptacle having a cobalt-containing coating on an inner surface, which eliminates the need for a bushing between the pin and the receptacle of the corresponding landing gear component.
