Titanium Alloys and Its Heat Treatment | Metallurgy
Titanium alloy is used as prostheses for implanting in the human body. Wrought forms of titanium alloys find major applications. Because of its high melting point (1720°C), its alloys have potentials for high temperature applications, but are a bit expensive to produce them from ores. As in pure iron, the low temperature HCP (α) titanium on heating undergoes allotropic transformation [...]
