Titanium: Advances in Processing, Characterization and Properties
Papers focused on the link between processing, microstructure and properties as they relate to titanium and its alloys are sought. Of particular interest are papers connecting two or more of these focus areas either experimentally or through the use of modeling and simulation. Specifically, characterization and modeling efforts to quantify and predict heterogeneous strain distribution throughout the microstructure during both processing and service loading of titanium alloys are within the scope of this symposium. Papers related to thermomechanical processing and process modeling of both primary and secondary forming operations and characterization of the resulting microstructures at laboratory and component scales are desired. Efforts to integrate experimental techniques with characterization tools to probe local deformation behavior and damage accumulation mechanisms are also of interest.
