Summary
Over the last 30 years, major advances have been made in understanding the basic metallurgy of titanium and this knowledge has been exploited fully in the continued development of improved alloys, particularly for creep resistant applications.
These developments have been matched by corresponding improvements in process technology and quality assurance and the industry has responded fully to the increasingly stringent demands of the gas turbine manufacturers for materials of the highest possible quality and integrity, especially for critical rotating components.
The future for titanium will be influenced by developments in new processes and new products. The search for improvements in processing will be aimed broadly at increasing the level of material utilisation from raw material to finished product form. Product development will be concerned mainly with raising the temperature at which new titanium alloys can operate.
