Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues and Friends,

In the last few decades, titanium composites (TMCs) have been in demand by diverse sectors like aerospace, biomedicine, sports, and the automobile industry. In this regard, TMCs offer outstanding properties as high specific strength and excellent corrosion behaviour, among others; therefore, they are at the forefront of diverse studies and research. Furthermore, advanced fabrication technologies have allowed the development of titanium composites with complex titanium structures and compositions.

This Special Issue will address investigations about TMCs related to their development and their characterization focusing on the processing technology and improved properties.

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Journal of Composites Science is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.

Due to their process-induced porous surfaces, additively manufactured structures are not optimized for applications in which friction is a key factor. To improve the frictional properties of additively manufactured titanium inserts of various thicknesses, two tribologically optimized POM materials, which differ in terms of filler composition and contents, were used to overmould the inserts. The titanium inserts were manufactured in two different building directions, resulting in a variation in surface roughness. The main challenge with respect to overmoulding is to maintain an even, thin plastic layer on the titanium insert. In order to evaluate the adhesion between plastic and metal, the interface is examined by optical microscopy and assessment of the peeling resistance. The peeling test shows that the overmoulded titanium inserts with a higher surface roughness are characterized by a higher peeling resistance. It is further revealed that the POM material with a special filler concept shows superior peeling resistance. Full article
