Titanium and titanium alloys with a medium thickness of 5 to 12 mm are widely used for ocean platforms, military equipment and in other fields because of their light weight, appropriate strength and corrosion resistance. In this study, autogenous laser welding and narrow-gap laser welding processes were researched and compared, and the welding characteristics, weld microstructure and joint strength were analyzed. The results showed that autogenous laser welding had higher efficiency, narrower weld width and higher microstructure uniformity. Autogenous laser welding can achieve the single pass weld penetration at laser keyhole mode. The weld width of narrow-gap laser welded joint was 12.5 mm, which was nearly three times than that of autogenous laser welding. The grain size of autogenous laser welding was obviously smaller and more uniform in depth than that of narrow-gap laser welding. In the weld zone, the coarse columnar α grains grew from the fusion line, while in the heat-affected zone, equiaxed α grains with needle and sawtooth α morphologies were presented. The microhardness of the heat-affected zone was higher than in the weld zone and the base metal due to the denser needle microstructure. The tensile samples all fractured at the base metal, indicating the welded joint strength efficiency was greater than 1. Full article

Additive manufacturing is a technology that creates objects by adding successive layers of material. The 3D method is an alternative to subtractive production, in which production involves removing material from the initial solid. 3D printing requires the initial design of the manufactured object using computer design, for example, one of the following programs: CAD, 3DCrafter, Wings 3D, Cinema 3, Blender, 3ds Max, Autodesk Inventor, and others. It is also possible to scan an existing object to be manufactured using 3D printing technology. An important element of Industry 5.0 is 3D printing technology, due to its favorable environmental orientation and production flexibility. Three-dimensional printing technology uses recycled materials such as powders. Therefore, it can be part of a circular economy, contributing to environmental protection. Additive manufacturing not only complements existing technologies by enabling rapid prototyping but also plays a fundamental role in sectors such as dentistry and medicine. This article consists of seven chapters relating to various aspects of 3D printing technology in the context of the assumptions and challenges of Industry 5.0. It examines the environmental impact and recycling potential of 3D printing technology, illustrates the economic integration of this technology within various industries, and discusses its future development prospects.
