Abstract
At just half the weight of steel and nickel-based superalloys, titanium and its alloys stand out primarily due to their excellent corrosion resistance, high strength, and low density. Such distinctive properties make titanium attractive for a variety of applications, including aerospace, sports and leisure, and industrial uses. The book aims to cover important aspects of titanium metallurgy, from the basic characteristics of titanium to its advanced applications. The introductory chapter introduces the metallurgical background, physical and mechanical properties of titanium, with insights into specialty titanium alloys and titanium matrix composites. The book also discusses the correlation between microstructure and properties of titanium and its alloys along with various heat-treatment opportunities that exist for tailoring the properties to achieve excellent performance in a variety of products. Additionally, the variety of applications of titanium and its alloys in aerospace and non-aerospace markets are documented in detail. Serving an updated account of recent developments with respect to titanium and its alloys, this book is an excellent, timely, and comprehensive reference for materials scientist and engineers who wish to gain knowledge about these engineering materials.
