The U.S. Bureau of Mines development of the Kroll process1 for the production of titanium metal resulted in the general availability of this material by the early 1950’s. Titanium was immediately hailed as the panacea for all structural applications demanding high strength and low density. Today, perhaps, this view could be regarded as somewhat overoptimistic. However, titanium alloys have been used successfully for a number of years in a wide range of industrial applications.
