With its low mass, high strength, and excellent resistance to corrosion, titanium solves many engineering challenges. (1) Titanium is 30% stronger than steel but is nearly 50% lighter. Titanium is 60%...
Carbon-steel pipes, when unprotected, cannot stand up to the corrosive properties of many chemicals. Specialty alloys can offer some protection against corrosion but may introduce other obstacles, not...

1.3. Alloy Steels
In 1988 the United States produced 10.9 million tons of alloy steel, or 10.9% of total steel production (Ref 7, p.147). It was much less than carbon steel (86.9%), but when...

AGING
A process of change in the mechanical properties of metals and alloys. Aging takes place over a period of time at room temperature, but it occurs more quickly at higher...
