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. From 2004 TMS Annual Meeting to be held inCharlotte, North Carolina, March 14-18, 2004.An errata document for the volume is available forcomplimentary download.

Friction stir welding has seen significant growth in both technology implementation and scientific exploration. This book covers all aspects of friction stir welding and processing, from fundamentals to design and applications. It also includes an update on the current research issues in the field of friction stir welding, and a guide for further research.A collection of papers from the 2007 TMS Annual Meeting & Exhibition held in Orlando, Florida, February 25 - March 1, 2007.

A revised edition of the original text, this handbook reviews the basic principles of physical chemistry, linear algebra, and statistics which are necessary to determine material and energy balances. Chapter topics include: Dimensions, Units, and Conversion Factors; Stoichiometry; Sampling and Measurements; Material Balances; Thermochemistry; and Energy Balances. In addition, three appendices covering basic properties of matrices; graphic and tabular enthalpy data for 65 elements (their oxides, halides, carbides, and nitrides); and a bibliography of related reference material.This is a valuable textbook not just for students, but also for practicing engineers looking for a refresher text in this important area.

Arsenic has long been a problem associated with the extraction of nonferrous metals. During the last decade, a combination of lowerΓÇôgrade ores and environmental concerns has resulted in accelerated technological developments to meet arsenic challenges. This volume presents the necessary technologies to further advance arsenic metallurgy. Treatment of high arsenicΓÇôcontaining ores and metallurgical streams and wastes are given particular attention. Arsenic metallurgical reactions, process, and environmental technologies are also reviewed. From 2005 TMS Annual Meeting to be held in San Francisco, February 13ΓÇô17, 2005.
