Aerospace and space industry has traditionally been a pacemaker for development and introduction of new materials systems and production technologies. The key driving forces for materials development are weight reduction, application-specific performance improvement, and reduced costs. Application of advanced engineering materials has significant impact on both economical and ecological issues. The use of titanium alloys in the aerospace sector are airframe, engine, helicopter, and space applications.
