Titanium Alloys Manufactured by Low Cost Solid State Powder Metallurgy Processes for Military, Aerospace and Other Critical Applications

摘要

All of us at ITA are well familiar with the super metal that we call titanium. We are aware of its excellent properties as compared to other metals- metals that are in more common use today than titanium. Titanium is stronger than steel, copper, nickel, or aluminum. Titanium, in application, is about 40% to 50% lighter than steel and approaches aluminum in weight. At the same time titanium's non corrosive property makes it superior to all of these metals. As we move into the age of carbon fiber we have found that aluminum is often too unstable to be used in contact with carbon fiber materials.
