Metallurgy of Titanium Manufacturing

Description

INTRODUCTION

Titanium (Ti) and titanium alloys have made significant progress in finding industrial use in the previous century due to some key advantages over other common industrial metals. Key benefits of titanium alloys over iron based and aluminum based alloys are its strength to weight ratio (Ti is roughly 60% of regular steel weight),  outstanding combination of mechanical properties (from room temperature to  elevated temperatures) and remarkable corrosion resistance.

The major challenge of Ti manufacturing is its high reactivity with gases present in atmosphere specially at elevated temperature causing immature failure and difficulty in fabrication. Consequently, manufacturing cost of Titanium ;  starting from raw material production to the final shape is relatively high. However, eventual operating benefits outweigh its high manufacturing cost.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

This Metallurgy of Titanium Manufacturing course is designed for professionals that wish to gain a primary knowledge on concepts and nuances of working with Titanium and titanium alloys. 

The objective of this course is to help understand the reasons of titanium’s popularity and gain comprehension of the metallurgical challenges and opportunities in manufacturing of titanium and its alloys. This course covers the concepts with enough details that provide the participants in this course a working knowledge of the various topics that pertain to working with Titanium and titanium alloy products.

At the end of the course, the participants will be exposed to concepts to make them proficient to handle the day to day business  of interacting on topics related to the metallurgical challenges in manufacturing of titanium and Titanium alloys.
