Innovations in titanium technology : proceedings of a symposia sponsored by the Materials Processing et Manufacturing division of TMS (The Minerals, Metals et Materials Society) ; TMS 2007 annual meeting et exhibition, Orlando, Florida, USA, February 25 -

This publication is a collection of papers from the 2007 TMS Annual Meeting & Exhibition held in Orlando, Florida, February 25 - March 1, 2007. These proceedings address the latest developments and breakthroughs in all areas of science and engineering of titanium technology that aim to reduce the cost of titanium for end users. The broad areas covered include extractive metallurgy, melting, casting and refining practices, powder processing and handling, deformation processing, alloy development, and microstructure and property enhancement through secondary processing. Emphasis is given to those processes that are under development and/or emerging as well as innovative. Content: Front Matter • Preface • Table of Contents •Part I.
