Deep learning methods have shown significant potential in tool wear lifecycle analysis. However, there are fewer open source datasets due to the high cost of data collection and equipment time investment. Existing datasets often fail to capture cutting force changes directly. This paper introduces a comprehensive dataset for the full lifecycle of titanium (Ti6Al4V) tool wear. This dataset utilizes complex circumferential milling paths and employs a rotary dynamometer to directly measure cutting force and torque, alongside multidimensional data from initial wear to severe wear. The dataset consists of 68 different samples with approximately 5 million rows each and includes vibration, sound, cutting force, and torque. Detailed wear pictures and measurement values are also provided. It is a valuable resource for time series prediction, anomaly detection, and tool wear studies. We believe this dataset will be a crucial resource for smart manufacturing research.

The titanium alloy material market for small aircraft is experiencing steady growth, projected to reach a significant market size. While the provided data states a 2025 market value of 174 million USD and a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 6%, a comprehensive analysis requires deeper insights into market drivers, trends, and regional variations to ascertain a more accurate projection for the forecast period (2025-2033). The relatively small market size in 2025 suggests a niche but promising sector. Key drivers likely include the increasing demand for lightweight, high-strength materials in small aircraft construction, driven by fuel efficiency improvements and enhanced performance. The ongoing development of advanced titanium alloys with superior properties, such as enhanced corrosion resistance and fatigue strength, further propels market expansion. However, restraints like the high cost of titanium and its complex manufacturing processes need careful consideration when forecasting future growth. The competitive landscape includes established players like ATI, Smiths High Performance, and Haynes International, alongside emerging players in the region, potentially suggesting opportunities for market consolidation and technological innovation. Further segment-specific analysis (e.g., by aircraft type, alloy grade, or application) is crucial for accurately determining market potential. A geographic breakdown of market shares, potentially revealing regions with higher growth rates, would further refine market projections. Considering the 6% CAGR, we can project a conservative market size growth for the next few years, expecting a steady increase, potentially reaching approximately 250-300 million USD by 2030, depending on the aforementioned factors (e.g., innovation in manufacturing, increased adoption of advanced titanium alloys). This projection acknowledges the inherent complexities and uncertainties involved in market forecasting, based only on the provided data. To achieve a higher level of accuracy, a more comprehensive data set is needed.

125I seeds coated with titanium are considered a safe and effective interstitial brachytherapy for tumors, while the cost of 125I seeds is a major problem for the patients implanting lots of seeds. The aim of this paper was to develop a novel silicone coating for 125I seeds with a lower cost. In order to show the radionuclide utilization ratio, the silicone was coated onto the seeds using the electro-spinning method and the radioactivity was evaluated, then the anti-tumor efficacy of silicone 125I seeds was compared with titanium 125I seeds. The seeds were divided into four groups: A (control), B (pure silicone), C (silicone 125I), D (titanium 125I) at 2 Gy or 4 Gy. Their anti-tumour activity and mechanism were assessed in vitro and in vivo using a human extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma cell line FRH-0201 and tumor-bearing BALB/c nude mice. The silicone 125I seeds showed higher radioactivity; the rate of cell apoptosis in vitro and the histopathology in vivo demonstrated that the silicone 125I seeds shared similar anti-tumor efficacy with the titanium 125I seeds for the treatment of extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma, while they have a much lower cost.

Surface-modified titanium dioxides by highly dispersed NiO particles have an extended absorption in the visible light region and a reduced hole–electron pair recombination than unmodified TiO2. They have now been successfully applied as highly active heterogeneous photocatalysts in the visible light mediated direct cyclization of tertiary anilines with maleimides to give tetrahydroquinoline products in moderate to high yields at ambient temperature. In contrast with unmodified titanium dioxide catalysts that are conventionally used in a stoichiometric amount in combination with UVA light, only a catalytic amount (1 mol %) of the surface-modified TiO2 catalyst is needed along with visible light to efficiently catalyze the reaction. Compared with transition-metal complexes such as Ru(bpy)3Cl2 or Ir(ppy)2(dtbbpy)PF6, advantages of these surface-modified titanium dioxides as photocatalyst include high catalytic activity, low cost, ease of recovering, and being able to be used for at least nine times without significant decay of catalytic activity.
