ULTRASONIC GRAIN NOISE MODELLING APPLICATIONS TO TITANIUM ALLOY INSPECTION

Abstract

Titanium’s accelerating usage in global markets is attributable to its distinctive combination of physical and metallurgical properties. The key to best utilizing titanium is to exploit these characteristics, especially as they complement one another in a given application, rather than to just directly substitute titanium for another metal. Present essay try to show some of the most important aspects concerning the industrial use of Titanium and its alloys. Starting with those regarding its properties, continuing with some technological processes involved in elaborating those materials and ending with the issues regarding recycling processes, titanium challenges scientists and engineers as well because of its remarkable properties that allow special applications in various human activities; but the main issues regarding the technological process of elaborating Titanium or its alloys are followed by those connected with the environments protection and recycling those materials. It seams that titanium worth all those efforts made by scientists in using it at a larger scale. Researches on those aspects are developed in Romania too.
