| Publisher Description: Titanium and titanium alloys are used in many demandingapplications in aerospace and terrestrial systems because of theirexcellent combination of mechanical properties and corrosionresistance. However, high costs resulting from an energy-intensiveextraction process and complex fabrication sequence excludestitanium alloys from many applications. This proceedings volumewill address all aspects of potential cost reduction of titaniumalloys, covering such segments of titanium technology asextraction, creative melting including cold-hearth approaches, near-net-shape techniques, processing and fabrication advances, high-speed machining and knowledge-based processing with emphasison computer-aided approaches, improved process control, andcreative designs. This volume will be of widespread interest tomaterials scientists and engineers working in the aerospace, automobile, chemical processing, medical, and consumer industries. From 2004 TMS Annual Meeting to be held inCharlotte, North Carolina, March 14-18, 2004. An errata document for the volume is available forcomplimentary download. |
