Who Should Attend:
The course will cover the science and technology of titanium and its alloys including the intermetallic alloys and metal matrix composites. It will be of value to those involved in research and development activities in this area and those managers who must make decisions on new directions for research and development.
Course Overview:
This course will present the science, technology, and application of titanium and its alloys. The basic science will include phase diagrams, alloying strategies, and processing procedures used. It will also include microstructure development and mechanical property relationships. Attention will then be given to the commercial practices used to fabricate titanium and its alloys; including conventional alloys such as Ti-6Al-4V and newly developed alloys such as Ti-10-2-3, b21S, Ti-62X, the titanium aluminides and titanium metal matrix composites. Applications will include engine and airframe use and non-aerospace markets including automobiles, armored vehicles, body implants, down-hole oil/gas use, and golf clubs.
