Publisher's Synopsis
This publication serves as an update of current developments in the science and technology of titanium alloys. The titanium metallurgy community is unique in that academia, industry and government laboratories work closely together for maximum benefit and this fact is reflected by the significant research contributions contained in this book.;Topics discussed include: alloy development, metallurgical studies, microstructure/property relationships, processing, environment, composites and applications. Further coverage includes: beta titanium alloys - an overview; interdiffusion in binary beta titanium alloys; fatigue and creep of high-temperature Ti alloys; the influence of titanium alloy composition and application on melting and casting practices; properties of P/M processed titanium alloy/particulate composites; and wear-resistant titanium alloys for aircrafts.;This collection of papers was presented at the International Symposium on Metallurgy and Technology of Practical Titanium Alloys in Chiba, Japan, December 7-9, 1993 in conjunction with the 3rd Japan International SAMPE Symposium and Exhibition
