ABSTRACTTitanium is a chemical transitional element with a metallic lustre, silver in colour. Manufacturersin the aerospace industry opt to use titanium because it has high strength compared to its density,it is corrosion resistant, it has low thermal and electrical conductivity, non-toxic, excellent resistance to fracture, bio-acceptability and good ductility. Titanium alloys are particularly important because they are used in the manufacture of aerospace parts such as jet engines. Titanium alloys are also applicable in other fields such as military, medical prostheses, dental implants and many others. Due to the lightweight nature if the titanium alloys, they are preferredin the manufacture of aircraft fuselages.Ceramic matrix composites are considered a new class of ceramic material and are obtained fromthe embedment of carbon or ceramic fibres into the ceramic matrix. It has a low strain to failure compared with the that of pure ceramic. Also, the composite has a low density. All these make the composite to have a mass specific property that is incomparable to that of any other structuralmaterial beyond 1000oC[ CITATION Wal08 \l 1033 ]. . The composites have a high resistance to corrosion, can withstand high temperatures, and they are lightweight.

INTRODUCTIONAdvanced Materials are those that are as a result of modification of existing materials. The resulting ‘new material’ is of superior quality. The purpose of the modification is to come up with a material of high quality whose characteristics are fundamental to the application in a given sector[ CITATION Non17 \l 1033 ]. Categories of advanced materials include superconductors, high performance alloys, energy materials, composites and auxetic materials.Advanced materials are applicable in many fields such as aerospace engineering, car manufacturing and medical engineering. For the purpose of this report, I shall consider the application of Titanium Alloys and Ceramic matrix composites in the field of aerospace engineering especially aircraft manufacture. Planes and rockets and all other technology that maybe required to fly in aerospace are required to be light, strong and tough. Therefore, for a material to be fit for use in the aerospace sector, it has to have the following characteristics depend on what part it meant to manufacture;i.Low Density.ii.High Temperature Strength.iii.Toughness.iv.Fatigue Resistance.v.Hot Corrosion Resistance.From previous studies, both Titanium alloys and Ceramic matrix composites exhibit some of the characteristics listed above hence may be considered to be used in the manufacture of parts to be used in aerospace technology such as air engines. We shall analyze their properties, compositionand suitability to be used in the manufacture of parts.
