Ti-2015: The 13th World Conference on Titanium; August 16-20, 2015; San Diego, CA

非技术摘要：该赠款部分支持第13届世界钛会议（Ti-2015），该会议将于2015年8月16日至20日在加州圣地亚哥的曼彻斯特君悦酒店举行。这是自1968年以来举行的一系列钛会议中的第十三次会议，目的是将世界聚集在一起。的钛社区，介绍和讨论钛科学和技术的进展。钛及其合金用于各种应用，如珠宝，飞机，汽车，骨植入物和手术器械，会议涵盖的技术领域同样广泛。七个主要钛国家（英国、美国、独联体国家、日本、德国、法国和中国）参加国际组织委员会，保证了钛研究、开发和应用新领域的广泛覆盖，以及与会者之间新思想和合作机会的广泛影响和刺激。技术总结：钛及其合金作为具有高比强度、耐疲劳性、耐腐蚀性和生物相容性等理想性能的结构材料，继续受到广泛关注。这些特性，沿着其优异的高温性能，使钛及其合金成为众多应用中的主力材料，在第13届世界钛大会上进一步探讨。该技术计划涵盖广泛的主题，包括：提取和粉末生产，锻造加工和制造，熔化和铸造，金属间化合物和金属基复合材料，增材和近净成形制造，以及集成计算材料工程等。该格式包括7个全体发言人，15个主题演讲，450多个贡献的演讲，以及一个会后会议记录出版物。除了了解新的研究和进展，本次会议还帮助与会者建立新的国际联系，并作为一个平台，促进钛科学家和工程师之间的合作与协作机会。

NON-TECHNICAL SUMMARY:This grant is in partial support for the 13th World Conference on Titanium (Ti-2015), which is being held at the Manchester Grand Hyatt Hotel in San Diego, California from August 16-20, 2015. It is the thirteenth conference in a series of meetings on titanium that have been held since 1968, with the purpose of bringing together the world?s titanium community to present and discuss progress in titanium science and technology. Titanium and its alloys are used in applications as varied as jewelry, airplanes, automobiles, bone implants, and surgical instruments and the technical areas covered at the conference are equally wide ranging. Participation of the seven major titanium countries (United Kingdom, United States, Commonwealth of Independent States, Japan, Germany, France, and China) in the International Organizing Committee guarantees extensive coverage of new areas in research, development and application of titanium, as well as broad impact and stimulation of new ideas and collaboration opportunities among attendees. TECHNICAL SUMMARY:Titanium and its alloys continue to receive significant attention as structural materials with desirable properties such as high specific strength, fatigue resistance, corrosion resistance, and biocompatibility. These properties, along with its excellent high temperature performance, have enabled titanium and its alloys to become workhorse materials in numerous applications, further explored at the 13th World Conference on Titanium. The technical program covers a broad range of topics including: extraction and powder production, wrought processing and fabrication, melting and casting, intermetallics and metal matrix composites, additive and near net shape manufacturing, and integrated computational materials engineering, among others. The format includes 7 plenary speakers, 15 keynotes, more than 450 contributed presentations, and a post-event proceedings publication. In addition to learning about new research and advances, this conference helps attendees establish new international contacts and serve as a platform to catalyze opportunities for cooperation and collaboration among scientists and engineers working on titanium.
