Session Description: This session will discuss the latest developments in the fabrication of titanium components via the interaction of Ti powder or wire with an electron or laser beam to build a near-net shape on a substrate. The session will start with a discussion on aerospace requirements for this type of product and will include theoretical discussions, experience and techniques in building these shapes and properties resulting from this type of processing.
