Scope of the symposium
The aim of this symposium is to discuss recent advances in theory, processing, characterization and applications of titanium alloys. It is expected the attendance of representatives from universities, research institutions and private companies. Among the engineering materials developed in the last decades, titanium and its alloys play an important industrial role. Nowadays, titanium alloys are broadly applied in several fields, including aerospace, power generation, architecture, automotive, chemical, sporting goods, dental and medical industries. The large variety of applications is due to their exceptional properties, mainly the high strength to weight ratio, outstanding corrosion resistance and good biocompatibility.
Abstracts will be solicited in (but not limited to) the following topics:
Phase transformation in titanium alloys
Novel techniques for characterization of titanium alloys
Novel techniques of fabrication applied to titanium alloys
Oxidation, corrosion and protection of titanium alloys
Mechanical behavior of titanium alloys
Recent developments in aerospace and non-aerospace applications of titanium alloys
Medical and dental application of titanium alloys
Nano-applications of titanium alloys
Theoretical modeling
Future trends in titanium alloys
