Titanium in Medical and Dental Applications is an essential
reference book for those involved in biomedical materials and
advanced metals. Written by well-known experts in the field, it
covers a broad array of titanium uses, including implants,
instruments, devices, the manufacturing processes used to create
them, their properties, corrosion resistance and various
fabrication approaches. Biomedical titanium materials are a
critically important part of biomaterials, especially in cases
where non-metallic biomedical materials are not suited to
applications, such as the case of load-bearing implants. The book
also covers the use of titanium for implants in the medical and
dental fields and reviews the use of titanium for medical
instruments and devices.
Titanium for Consumer Applications is the first book to tie
together the metallurgical advantages of titanium in consumer
applications. The book begins with a discussion of the metallurgy
and properties of titanium that is followed by six distinct
sections that look at the use of titanium in consumer products, the
sports industry, buildings and architecture design, arts field,
aerospace, automotive, and medical applications. This book is
useful for individuals involved in the manufacturing of titanium
components, as well as those looking to define new applications for
this versatile metal.
Extractive Metallurgy of Titanium: Conventional and Recent Advances
in Extraction and Production of Titanium Metal contains information
on current and developing processes for the production of titanium.
The methods for producing Ti metal are grouped into two categories,
including the reduction of TiCl4 and the reduction of TiO2, with
their processes classified as either electrochemical or
thermochemical. Descriptions of each method or process include both
the fundamental principles of the method and the engineering
challenges in their practice. In addition, a review of the chemical
and physical characteristics of the product produced by each method
is included. Sections cover the purity of titanium metal produced
based on ASTM and other industry standards, energy consumption,
cost and the potential environmental impacts of the processes.
Additive Manufacturing of Titanium Alloys: State of the Art,
Challenges and Opportunities provides alternative methods to the
conventional approach for the fabrication of the majority of
titanium components produced via the cast and wrought technique, a
process which involves a considerable amount of expensive
machining. In contrast, the Additive Manufacturing (AM) approach
allows very close to final part configuration to be directly
fabricated minimizing machining cost, while achieving mechanical
properties at least at cast and wrought levels. In addition, the
book offers the benefit of significant savings through better
material utilization for parts with high buy-to-fly ratios (ratio
of initial stock mass to final part mass before and after
manufacturing). As titanium additive manufacturing has attracted
considerable attention from both academicians and technologists,
and has already led to many applications in aerospace and
terrestrial systems, as well as in the medical industry, this book
explores the unique shape making capabilities and attractive
mechanical properties which make titanium an ideal material for the
additive manufacturing industry.
Titanium Powder Metallurgy contains the most comprehensive and
authoritative information for, and understanding of, all key issues
of titanium powder metallurgy (Ti PM). It summarizes the past,
reviews the present and discusses the future of the science and
technology of Ti PM while providing the world titanium community
with a unique and comprehensive book covering all important aspects
of titanium powder metallurgy, including powder production, powder
processing, green shape formation, consolidation, property
evaluation, current industrial applications and future
developments. It documents the fundamental understanding and
technological developments achieved since 1937 and demonstrates why
powder metallurgy now offers a cost-effective approach to the near
net or net shape fabrication of titanium, titanium alloys and
titanium metal matrix composites for a wide variety of industrial
applications.
Additive Manufacturing for the Aerospace Industry explores the
design, processing, metallurgy and applications of additive
manufacturing (AM) within the aerospace industry. The book's
editors have assembled an international team of experts who discuss
recent developments and the future prospects of additive
manufacturing. The work includes a review of the advantages of AM
over conventionally subtractive fabrication, including cost
considerations. Microstructures and mechanical properties are also
presented, along with examples of components fabricated by AM.
Readers will find information on a broad range of materials and
processes used in additive manufacturing. It is ideal reading for
those in academia, government labs, component fabricators, and
research institutes, but will also appeal to all sectors of the
aerospace industry.
