In one of the greatest ironies of the Cold War, the U.S. had to secretly buy the titanium needed to build the Mach 3+ SR-71 ...

A new process, being developed by SRI International, takes fewer steps, uses less energy, and produces titanium powder, rather than ingots. The powder can be pressed and fused into something that’s ...

UPTON, NY -- Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's Brookhaven National Laboratory and the New Jersey Institute of Technology have taken steps toward understanding how a titanium compound ...

Generally, titanium alloys that have been developed for high strength and good creep resistant properties have inferior corrosion resistance to the commercially pure material, but there are some ...

A new process for producing titanium—a metal that’s increasingly used in aircraft to reduce weight and fuel consumption—is significantly cheaper and less energy-intensive than conventional methods.

Titanium is often used where low weight and high strength are required and money is no object—because it’s extremely costly to produce. Now, a new manufacturing technique could reduce the expense, and ...
