Description
Titanium alloy processing and manufacturing methods
Titanium's strength has made it a popular material for aerospace and other critical manufacturing, but the high cost of extraction had long rendered it less suitable for broader applications. Cost-Effective Titanium Component Technology for Leading Edge Performance explores the latest in titanium alloys, providing real-world solutions that bring titanium into medical, architectural, automotive, sporting goods, and other areas. These advanced alloys offer high temperature capacity and corrosion resistance four times better than stainless steel, making new designs and technologies possible through novel processing methods.
