Episode 97: Titanium

i like your podcasts a lot, but a suggestion is to make a few slides and present over it. This will be more intuitive instead of listening to people talk. Maybe a zoom meeting where we can see faces? That would be better!

Really interesting podcast, Learnt a new perspective to see Materials!!

welcome to the metalverse

You guys rock,!

Titanium is a lovely material with superior specific strength, low density, excellent room temperature corrosion resistance and great biocompatibility. However, its limitation is also obvious: poor wear resistance, low thermal conductility (diffcult for machining) and way more expensive than steel and Al. I have studied on Ti alloys for 5 years, including both alpha, alpha+beta and beta alloys 😊. Wonderful video, very insightful! This could let more people to get to know titanium better.

So I recently decided to start doing research on metalurgy and a comment on reddit sent me to this channel. I seriously got so so excited seeing just under a 100 videos about what I want to learn, I know this isnt really the entirety of metalurgy, but it's a good start for me. Do you have any suggestions on books I can read that can give me as much info on any subject of metallurgy. I know my question is vague, but any guidens would be appreciated.

Another sleepy time podcast found! THANKS

great show guys. I have 2 titanium implants
1) dental implant
2) device to plug hole between heart chambers

the Douglas DC6 was first commercial plane to use titanium

These podcasts make work fly by thank you!

Hello Prof. Sparks I just want to say that I have been deeply invested in the materialism podcast series and am looking forward to many more! Is there any books that you would recommend for someone with a passion in material science.

first time listening to this channel, i got maybe 70% of what you were saying if i'm being generous to myself, sometimes adding images of things you're talking about for context would make it a lot easier to understand for material science newbies

Nice material (pun intended). Haha. I was hoping to hear about titanium's role in superconductors (NbTi) as well. Looking forward to future podcasts!

Great podcast even tho there was alot of terminology that went over my head. As a car nerd, I now need to look into why a company would use Titanium over carbon fiber or aluminum, if titanium is so difficult to work with and costs so much more.

I just found this podcast. Former ASM member before I retired from the oil production industry as well as steelmaking industry. And I am hooked. Thank you!

This sounds like one of those ai generated podcasts

What a find! Just discovered the pod. Thank you for doing this. Next up: episode on steel, and hope you will do aluminum at some point. Also, can you please suggest any books popular books for novices on material science?

Metalysis has an industrial process for refining it continually but its proprietary still and hasn't scaled by licensure yet.

Avid listener. Thank you for your podcast.

I do a lot of cold sprayed titanium for work. Cold spray episode soon?

great stuff. love the little bits of history and the amazing graphics

Thanks

osseointegration! that one word is worth the price of admission alone, 🍻

One of my favorite parts of titanium is the gorgeous oxide colors you can get by torching or anodizing it

Alec Steele has a titanium "damascus" forging series that I found very interesting

It's either a really impressively convincing AI podcast or a really badly edited human podcast.

Good luck with the channel. Just ran across this video, liking the content.

Favorite metal! Literally part of my body as a femoral implant. I also did undergraduate corrosion research on titanium alloys!

First time listener, here.
This was amazing and lovely.
I knew materials science was intricate but I had no clue how intricate until now, when I got to hear two materials science nerds back-and-forth.
Just brilliant!

Thank you so much for this podcast!!

Interesting, even more so because I work at a titanium melt shop. They shut down the Kroll process here in 2020.

Greatest gem I found this year
Hope you get big enough for everybody to see all the cool material you have

Glad to have y'all presenting!!!

Yo I was just "researching" titanium last night.

My sister herded her Valais sheep up at that sheep run in Sun Valley this year.
