Production and applications Titanium and titanium alloys powders Titanium possesses an exclusive combination of low density‚ good mechanical properties at room and elevated temperatures and good corrosion resistance. Titanium and its alloys are used extensively in aerospace‚biomedical industries and in other industrial applications. However‚ titanium ingots are expensive to produce and fabricate. Another problem is connected with segregation in highly alloyed titanium materials. The high cooling

These microfibrils constitute the structural components of the suspensory ligament of the lens and serve as bases for elastin in the aorta and other connective tissues Microfibrils become part of the fibers that provide strength and flexibility to connective tissue. These are not just critical to structural formation‚ but they
