Alchemy of a supermetal: serendipity delivers a process that may cut the cost of a high-tech material
Article Abstract:
The high-tech material 'titanium' is the first choice of the engineers as a structural material for jet aircraft, racecars, oil-drilling equipment or prosthetic body implants. Wresting pure metal from its ore is an expensive procedure. Efforts are made to develop low cost-production routes.
