Ti-2003 Science & technology

These proceedings of the 10th World Conference on Titanium will again be a valuable sourcebook for scientists, engineers, and students. The 10th World Conference on Titanium will cover all aspects, including the complete production route from the ore to the finished products, all application areas, new alloys, advanced materials, and microstructure/property evaluation. With this broad scope, the conference follows the intention of all its predecessors to bring together for one week the worldwide titanium community to present and discuss all innovations. The participation of the seven major titanium countries in the International Organizing Committee guarantees extensive coverage of all the new interesting areas in research, development, and applications.
