Titanium Alloys: Microstructure, Properties and Applications - Hardcover

by Keith Liverman (Editor)

Titanium alloys are typically stronger than aluminum alloys and are lighter than steel. They have exceptional corrosion resistance and high tensile strength at extreme temperatures. They are used in numerous industries such as transportation industry, chemical industry, aerospace industry, and power generation industry. They can be easily welded and have exceptional formability. Titanium alloys have long been utilized for treating traumatic bone fractures. They are also widely utilized in the production of bone plates and metal orthopedic joint replacements. These alloys are a good substitute for stainless steel because of their easier machining capabilities, superior corrosion resistance, and lower stiffness. This book contains some path-breaking studies on titanium alloys. The readers would gain knowledge that would broaden their perspective on their microstructure, properties, and applications.
