Professionals can get up to 6 months of free Onshape Professional access - https://onshape.pro/EfficientEngineer. Thanks to Onshape for sponsoring this video. --- Titanium is widely regarded as one of the more advanced engineering materials in regular use. It’s strong, lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and capable of operating in extreme environments. In this video, we explore the science this fascinating material. But we also examine the subtle weaknesses that can arise within titanium alloys, and the rare but critical failure mechanism that played a role in the dramatic engine failure of Air France Flight 066. --- Chapters: 00:00 - Air France Flight 066 01:20 - Crystal Structure of Titanium 03:21 - Pure Titanium and Titanium Alloys 06:15 - Microstructure of Titanium 09:30 - High Temperature Performance 10:30 - Corrosion Resistance 12:06 - Anodization 14:27 - Mechanical Properties 16:05 - What Happened to Air France Flight 066? 21:00 - Onshape -- 3d model and satellite imagery credits: Contains modified Copernicus Sentinel-2 satellite imagery.
