Description
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.
Theme
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.
Topics
- Phase transformation in titanium alloys
- Novel techniques for characterization of titanium alloys
