Technological Aspects

Chapter
Part of the Engineering Materials, Processes book series (EMP)

Abstract

This chapter addresses the various aspects that are associated with producing titanium as a commercial material (hence “Technological Aspects”). It commences with a short discussion of the production of metallic titanium (titanium sponge), then continues with a discussion of all aspects of titanium production ranging from melting, including alloying (Sect. 3.2), to processing into useful product forms (Sect. 3.3). Included are products, such as billet, bar, plate, and sheet. Section 3.4 describes shaping processes for the manufacture of components. The emphasis in Sect. 3.5 is on near net shape processes, since these are one means of reducing the cost of using titanium alloys, which is a principal constraint to their increased use. Section 3.6 addresses the joining methods most commonly used for titanium and its alloys, and in Sect. 3.7 various surface treatment processes are described. Section 3.8 illustrates some of the inspection methods used during production of titanium mill products and components. Especially those used for high performance applications are described. Finally, it concludes in Sect. 3.9 with a discussion of characterization methods, which are particular to titanium alloys.
