EDUCATION SHORT COURSES
Two education short courses will be
offered on Thursday, April 13.
Additive Manufacturing
Instructor: Frank Medina
8:30 a.m.−12:00 p.m.
This course deals with various as-
pects of additive, subtractive, and join-
ing processes to form 3D parts with ap-
plications ranging from prototyping to
production. Attendees will learn about
a variety of AM and other manufactur-
ing technologies, including their advan-
tages and disadvantages for producing
both prototypes and production-qual-
ity parts. Some of the most important
challenges associated with using these
technologies will also be covered.
Titanium Alloys
Instructor: Rod Boyer
8:30 a.m.−4:30 p.m.
Titanium and its alloys are a ver-
satile family of metals with applications
in many industries. They feature high
strength-to-weight
ratios,
excellent
corrosion resistance, and high and low
temperature capabilities. Further, they
also exhibit compatibility with graph-
ite fibers, which is gaining importance
with increased utilization of composites
in aircraft structures. This unique com-
bination of physical, mechanical, and
chemical properties makes them attrac-
tive for aerospace, marine, industrial,
biomedical, and other applications. This
course provides an overview of titanium
alloy processing, from refining ore to
machining hardware, and explores how
the unique properties of titanium drive
applications in various industries.
