A collection of papers from the 2002 TMS Annual Meeting and Exhibition held in Seattle, Washington, February 17-21, 2002.

These papers present advancements in all aspects of high temperature electrochemistry, from the fundamental to the empirical and from the theoretical to the applied. Topics involving the application of electrochemistry to the nuclear fuel cycle, chemical sensors, energy storage, materials synthesis, refractory metals and their alloys, and alkali and alkaline earth metals are included. Also included are papers that discuss various technical, economic, and environmental issues associated with plant operations and industrial practices.

Titanium Powder Metallurgy contains the most comprehensive and authoritative information for, and understanding of, all key issues of titanium powder metallurgy (Ti PM). It summarizes the past, reviews the present and discusses the future of the science and technology of Ti PM while providing the world titanium community with a unique and comprehensive book covering all important aspects of titanium powder metallurgy, including powder production, powder processing, green shape formation, consolidation, property evaluation, current industrial applications and future developments. It documents the fundamental understanding and technological developments achieved since 1937 and demonstrates why powder metallurgy now offers a cost-effective approach to the near net or net shape fabrication of titanium, titanium alloys and titanium metal matrix composites for a wide variety of industrial applications. Provides a comprehensive and in-depth treatment of the science, technology and industrial practice of titanium powder metallurgy Each chapter is delivered by the most knowledgeable expert on the topic, half from industry and half from academia, including several pioneers in the field, representing our current knowledge base of Ti PM. Includes a critical review of the current key fundamental and technical issues of Ti PM. Fills a critical knowledge gap in powder metal science and engineering and in the manufacture of titanium metal and alloys

Harry Rosenberg grew up near the hottest place on Earth—Death Valley—in a very unusual dwelling: a red caboose. His father repaired bridges for the Tonopah & Tidewater Railroad, which hauled ore from remote mines. During the Depression, the Rosenbergs traveled from washout to washout across a fiery land prone, paradoxically, to devastating floods of the Amargosa and Mojave Rivers. No other place on Earth was better suited to forge a curious boy into a metallurgist who would spend his life unlocking the vast potential of a difficult, new metal—titanium. In Fire and Forge, author Kathleen L. Housley tells Rosenberg’s life story—working as a miner, having a chance meeting with a geologist studying Death Valley, earning a PhD from Stanford, gaining patents for aerospace alloys, and founding a company that manufactures the purest titanium in the world. This biography captures the essence of a man whose work as a metallurgist left an impact on the world, but it also communicates Rosenberg’s love for his roots. No matter how far he traveled, no matter the number of his successes, he never really left the Mojave Desert and the Amargosa River—it still flows through his veins.

The Trends conference attracts the world's leading welding researchers. Topics covered in this volume include friction stir welding, sensing, control and automation, microstructure and properties, welding processes, procedures and consumables, weldability, modeling, phase transformations, residual stress and distortion, physical processes in welding, and properties and structural integrity of weldments.

Papers from a November 2001 and an October 2002 symposium examine academic and commercial aspects of recent research in the field. They address a range of metals and alloys as well as novel materials such as composites, sandwiches, and foamed metals. They also deal with innovative topics such as hig

Titanium and titanium alloys are used in many demandingapplications in aerospace and terrestrial systems because of theirexcellent combination of mechanical properties and corrosionresistance. However, high costs resulting from an energy-intensiveextraction process and complex fabrication sequence excludestitanium alloys from many applications. This proceedings volumewill address all aspects of potential cost reduction of titaniumalloys, covering such segments of titanium technology asextraction, creative melting including cold-hearth approaches,near-net-shape techniques, processing and fabrication advances,high-speed machining and knowledge-based processing with emphasison computer-aided approaches, improved process control, andcreative designs. This volume will be of widespread interest tomaterials scientists and engineers working in the aerospace,automobile, chemical processing, medical, and consumer industries.
