A new process, being developed by SRI International, takes fewer steps, uses less energy, and produces titanium powder, rather than ingots. The powder can be pressed and fused into something that’s ...

Titanium has high resistance to oxidizing acids over a broad range of temperatures and concentrations. Standard acids in this group include nitric, perchloric, chromic, and hypochlorous (wet Cl 2) ...

A new process for producing titanium—a metal that’s increasingly used in aircraft to reduce weight and fuel consumption—is significantly cheaper and less energy-intensive than conventional methods.

IT has been known for more than 10 years that titanium alloys suffer from intergranular stress corrosion cracking if they are in contact with chlorides at elevated temperatures (> 250° C), but it was ...
