Titanium processing - Direct Titanium Manufacturing
Location: Meeting Room 17AB (Austin Convention Center)
(Please check final room assignments on-site).
Session Description: This session will provide information on the latest technologies used to reduce the buy to fly ratio of titanium components. These technologies will reduce the cost and lead times for titanium components, and reduce the titanium requirements and thus shortages. State-of-the art advancements and discussions of direct manufacturing techniques such as electron beam freeform fabrication will be the focus of this session.
