Description : 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
