Modern Production Methods for

Titanium alloys are advanced structural materials for numerous key engineering applications in medicine (implants), aerospace, marine structures, and many other areas. The novel aspects of application potential for titanium alloys are as a result of their unique properties such as high corrosion resistance, high specific strength, low elastic modulus, high elasticity, and high hardness. This chapter examines the modern methods for production of titanium alloys. The goal of this chapter is to show the process engineers the current methods for production of titanium alloys necessary for modern applications. The chapter also presents the future methods of production for titanium and titanium alloys to meet the future demands of titanium

Titanium (Ti) is a lustrous metal with a silver color. This metal exists in two different physical crystalline state called body centered cubic (bcc) and hexagonal closed packing (hcp), shown in **Figure 1 (a)** and **(b)**, respectively. Titanium has five natural isotopes, and these are 46Ti, 47Ti, 48Ti, 49Ti, 50Ti. The 48Ti is the most
