Titanium metal has superior properties such as high specific strength, high corrosion resistance, biocompatibility, etc. In addition to these properties, crustal abundance of titanium is more than 40 times larger than those of commonly used copper and nickel. However, titanium is not used widely and commonly due to two problems: the high cost of present smelting method and the poor workability of itself. Therefore, both a new smelting method and a processing method are required.… Show more
