Update your knowledge about titanium

Other language versions:    

In all fields of engineering, designers, fabricators and end users are looking for improved performance from products and processes. More than ever before, relevant information is needed on alloys with higher strength, alloys with superior corrosion resistance and other desirable combinations of properties. Titanium, still considered by many to be a newcomer to the industrial scene, is today regularly supplied by a large number of producers and fabricators. Titanium is not an 'exotic' metal, it is the fourth most abundant structural metal in the earth's crust, and the ninth industrial metal. No other engineering metal has risen so swiftly to a position of pre-eminence in such a wide range of critical and demanding applications.

To bring you updated information on titanium and its alloys, Stainless Steel World has enlisted the help of theTitanium Information Group (TIG), whose many publications, design guides, and data sheets can be found on this web site. You can order a free copy of the more comprehensive TIG CD data base 'Titanium and its Alloys' if you fill in and submit the reply form at the Further Information page. Answers to frequently asked questions (FAQs) also feature on this site, but if you cannot find the specific help you need here then visit the TIG website for help directly from one of their specialist advisers. Any feedback on these titanium webpages will be highly appreciated. Please send your comments or queries to titanium@kci-world.com.
