When fatigue is a concern. / As vermoeidheid 'n bron van kommer is.

Low budget, lightweight applications. / Lae begroting, liggewig toepassings.

Where low weight is prioritised over strength requirements. / Waar lae gewig geprioritiseer word bo sterktevereistes.

Low budget applications with no restrictions on weight. / Lae begrotingstoepassings sonder gewigsbeperkings.

When high strength is prioritized. / As hoë sterkte geprioritiseer word.

When porosity is required as part of the function, for instance for filtering of liquids. / As porositeit vereis word as deel van die funksie, byvoorbeeld vir die filtrering van vloeistowwe.

They are combinations of the other matieral groups. / Hulle is kombinasies van die ander matierale groepe.

Metals can be alloyed to have a large range of strengths. / Metale kan geallooi word om 'n groot verskeidenheid sterkte te hê.

Alloys, such as steels, can be subjected to different heat treatments to obtain a range of strengths. / Allooie, soos staal, kan aan verskillende hittebehandelings onderwerp word om 'n reeks sterke te verkry.

Densities are generally low for this group of materials. / Die digtheid is oor die algemeen laag vir hierdie groep materiale.

Large cost ranges are related to large variability of metals/alloys availability, ease of fabrication and cost-effective processing techniques. / Groot reeks kostes hou verband met die groot veranderlikheid van die beskikbaarheid van metale/allooi, vervaardigingsgemak en koste-effektief verwerkingstegnieke.

Titanium alloys require a labor-intensive lay-up procedure. / Titaanallooie vereis 'n arbeidsintensiewe oplegprosedure.

Aluminium alloys have lower melting temperatures which lowers the heat input costs needed for processing and fabrication (such as for casting). / Aluminiumallooie het laer smelttemperature wat die hitte-insetkoste wat nodig is vir verwerking en vervaardiging (soos vir giet) verlaag.

Extraction and processing of titanium is more difficult due to its reactivity and high melting temperatures. / Ontginning en verwerking van titaan is moeiliker as gevolg van sy reaktiwiteit en hoë smelttemperature.

The ductility of this Ti-6Al-4V alloy is substantially lower than that of aluminium 7075. This makes shaping processes more expensive because several intermediate annealing processes might be necessary to produce the final shape.  / Die rekbaarheid van hierdie Ti-6Al-4V allooi is ietwat laer as dié van aluminium 7075. Dit maak vormingsprosesse duurder omdat verskeie intermediêre uitgloeiingsprosesse nodig kan wees om die finale vorm te verkry.

Ti-6Al-4V contains additional alloying elements (such as V) which are themselves expensive. / Ti-6Al-4V bevat ekstra allooielemente (soos V) wat self duur is.

Titanium alloys require equilibrium cooling conditions which are energy intensive. / Titaanallooie benodig verkoelingstoestande teen ewewig wat energie intensief is.

Fabrication methods incur an additional cost due to the difficulty in machining, polishing and welding titanium. / Vervaardigingsmetodes hou 'n ekstra koste in as gevolg van die moeilikheid met die bewerking, polering en sweis van titaan.
