Titanium Alloys: Properties, Applications, and Key Advantages in Modern Industries
Introduction to Titanium and Alloys Titanium is a polymorphic metal. Below 882°C, it is in the α-phase, with a close-packed hexagonal atomic structure. From 882°C up to its melting point, it is in the β-phase, with a body-centered cubic lattice. Industrially pure titanium exhibits the α-phase in its metallographic structure. If fully annealed, it…
