These Proceedings of the 10th World Conference on Titanium will be again a valuable sourcebook for scientists, engineers, and students.The 10th World Conference on Titanium will cover all aspects of titanium including the complete production route from the ore to the finished products, all application areas, new alloys, advanced materials, and microstructure/property evaluation. With this broad scope, the conference follows the intention of all previous titanium conferences, to bring together for one week the worldwide titanium community to present and discuss all new aspects in the area of titanium. The participation of the seven majortitanium countries (USA, CIS, Japan, UK, France, China, and Germany) in theInternational Organizing Committee (IOC) guarantees extensive coverage of all new interesting areas in research, development, and application of titanium.Die fünf Bände enthalten Beiträge der 10. World Conference on Titanium (2003). Themenschwerpunkte sind alle Stadien der Titanproduktion, Anwendungsgebiete des Metalls, neue Legierungen, titanhaltige Spezialwerkstoffe sowie die analytische Erfassung von Mikrostrukturen und Eigenschaften. Zum Organisationskomitee gehören Vertreter der auf diesem Gebiet wichtigsten Staaten (unter anderem die USA, China, Japan und Deutschland).
