H. (Sam) Froes Dietmar Fischer James Robison Frauke Hogue 6 TITANIUMTODAY Welcome Letter From Ed Rosenberg To introduce this edition of Titanium Today, we present our guest publisher for this issue, Edward Rosenberg, the chief executive officer of jewelry designer and manufacturer Spectore Corp. Ed will serve as the chair of the consumer committee for the International Titanium Association. A llow me to introduce myself. My name is Ed Rosenberg and I love titanium. I was born at Coney Island Hospital in 1947 and learned about the jewelry business at a young age, working with my parents at their store in New York’s Lower East Side. My father Leon learned the trade from my grandfather when they lived in Austria. Those were the days when being a jeweler meant you also needed to be a locksmith and a blacksmith. No doubt some of you know me from my attendance at the annual TITANIUM USA conferences. Not long ago Titanium Today did a feature article on me and my career as a designer and manufacturer of titanium jewelry and consumer products. In 2010 I received the ITA’s Titanium Advancement and Development Award. As with most other industries, quite a lot has transpired in the global titanium business to change the consumer products landscape. Most of those changes are a result of technology, communications and a shift in the buying habits of the newer generations, hungry for content. I personally find the challenges of a changing environment exciting.As we all know, if you look hard enough within challenge, you often find opportunities. The jewelry and gift industry has experienced the same radical shifts as book stores, the world of print, malls, record stores, general retailing of brick and mortar and, of course the food and entertainment industries among others. Independent stores are closing at an alarming rate. The amount of consolidation within all industries is mind-numbing and yet, the consumers are seeking ways to exert their individuality. So what does this mean to the world of titanium consumer products?; a voice of reason. We are finding an incredible shift from conventional materials to ones that are new and advanced. What’s more remarkable is that the demand is led by the luxury minded brands, the aging X and Y generations and the upcoming millennials. Our sales have significantly shifted to higher end products with stories, background, and uniqueness. We are mixing precious metals, gemstones and much more. What this means for us is we must deliver with more speed and diversity than ever before. We are fo- cusing our efforts on increasing our speed in the development of designs that showcase materials and technologies and improve our delivery time from concept to market. When it comes to being dedicated to innovation, I enjoy the philosophy of Michael Porter, the influential Harvard Business School professor, author and industry guru. Porter said that when it comes to competing in business, “you can’t succeed by being the best, because the best is easy to copy. You can only succeed by being the most innovative. You have to keep reinventing.” Porter’s philosophy of innovation and reinvention requires a commitment to developing new alloys, products and tooling that enables titanium to hit the “sweet spot” for any given market. At Spectore, we’ve demonstrated our dedication to innovation by investing millions of dollars into production equipment and design capabilities at our facility in Deerfield Beach, FL. When you stop and think about it, the global titanium industry is relatively young. We all still have a lot of learning to do. As the chair of the ITA’s consumer committee, I look forward to learning with you in the days ahead. Edward Rosenberg Spectore Corp.

  • Role of Cobalt in Waspaloy
    ROLE OF COBALT IN WASPALOY G. E. Maurer L. A. Jackman J. A. Domingue Special Metals Corp., New Hartford, N.Y. 13413 Nickel was systematically substituted for cobalt in Was- paloy. M'echanical test results indicate that lower cobalt has little effect on tensile properties, but adversely affects creep rate and stress rupture life. Phase extraction studies found slight decreases in gamma prime volume fractions and in- creased M'23C6 carbide with lowes cobalt. It is suggested that changes in gamma prime volume fraction, carbide precipitation, and stacking fault energy contribute to the decrease in creep resistance. INTRODUCTION Interest in the role of specific elements in the design of nickel-base superalloys has been dramatically revitalized in the past two years. Economic and strategic considera- tions have prompted re-examination of the necessity of raw materials whose availability could be jeopardized by political unrest or resource depletion. Recently, an ele- ment of primary concern has been cobalt, which comprises from 8-19 wt.% of some of the most commonly used wrought alloys. Information on the role of cobalt in nickel-base super- alloys was found insufficient to ascertain if the specified levels of cobalt in many commercial superalloys is justi- fied. Therefore, a one variable study was initiated on the systematic replacement of cobalt by nickel in Waspaloy, which accounts for the greatest consumption of "nickel- base superalloy" cobalt. Few studies have been done on the specific reduction of cobalt in a superalloy cl.-3). The principle reference to the overall role of cobalt in wrought superalloys is by Heslop (1) who reviewed the use 43 44 / Superalloys 1980 of cobalt in Nimonic alloys.

  • “The Essays in This Edited Work Shed Light on the Undeniable Intersection Between Religion and Eth- Ics in Society by Challeng
    “The essays in this edited work shed light on the undeniable intersection between religion and eth- ics in society by challenging readers to understand how we should move forward for the betterment of human existence. Religious ethical values can make or break a political candidate’s chance for election or reelection; religious ethical values can influence and mobilize large and small humani- tarian relief organizations to intervene at a local and/or global scale; religious ethical values can lead to laws that recognize the rights of alienated minorities; religious ethical values can expose the crimes of the capitalist system; religious ethical values can create awareness for a more conscien- tious use of natural resources and the preservation of our world. These essays offer an investigation on these and other issues and a place for us to reflect critically on where we are today.” —Lourdes Rincón, PhD, Xavier University of Louisiana “Paul Myhre has assembled an impressive collection of essays from scholars working at the inter- section of social justice advocacy and theological inquiry. Students will appreciate the accessibility and contemporary relevance of each chapter, while professors will welcome the breadth of topics discussed and the clarity of their organization. Scholars of religion will value the critical insights offered on subjects as diverse as the communal impact of HIV/AIDS, the ethics of food production and consumption, religion and violence, and the alarming extent to which the media and social networks govern our daily lives. This volume is a timely and important exploration of the tech- nological, environmental, and social issues that have come to define the early twenty-first century.

Fabrication in terms of combining wrought and cast parts in the manufacturing of hot structural components enables component optimisation via the use of wrought high-strength parts, where geometrical constraints allow, and cast parts to produce complex geometries. Such an approach requires that the materials involved are weldable. Due to the complex microstructure of precipitation hardening nickel-based superalloys, welding comes with the risk of weld cracking, more specifically solidification cracking, heat affected zone (HAZ) liquation cracking and strain age cracking (SAC). While the first two types require a liquid phase to be present, SAC occurs during heating to post-weld heat treatment, in which age-hardening reactions coincide with the relaxation of weld residual stresses.

You have experienced an injury to your brain, that has caused you to be “concussed”. A concussion is a type of traumatic brain injury that is caused by a blow to the head or body, a fall, or another injury that jars or shakes the brain inside the skull. It usually takes a little while for the brain to recover from a concussion but in most cases there are no lasting symptoms or ill effects. This is because the brain is surrounded by shock absorbing liquid and covered by the skull. Often these are enough to protect the brain from damage. Sometimes the force of impact is more severe. This can cause the skull to break or fracture. When the skull fractures this absorbs some of the force of the blow and protects the brain. When the head is hit the brain may be shaken around inside the skull.

HAYNES® 282® alloy is designed for the transition sections and other hot-gas-path components in land-based gas turbines. HAYNES® 282® alloy 2 ©2008 Haynes International, Inc. PRINCIPAL FEATURES Excellent High Temperature Strength HAYNES® 282® alloy is a new, wrought, gamma-prime strengthened superalloy developed for high temperature structural applications, especially those in aero and land-based gas turbine engines. It possesses a unique combination of creep strength, thermal stability, weldability, and fabricability not found in currently available commercial alloys. The new alloy has excellent creep strength in the temperature range of 1200 to 1700°F (649 to 927°C), surpassing that of Waspaloy alloy, and approaching that of R-41 alloy. Easily Fabricated This high level of creep strength in HAYNES 282 alloy has been attained at a relatively low volume fraction of the strengthening gamma-prime phase, resulting in outstanding resistance to strain-age cracking (normally a problem with superalloys in this creep strength range). Additionally, slow gamma-prime precipitation kinetics allow for the alloy to have excellent ductility in the as-annealed condition.

  • “Bitch” in Russia
    Being a “Bitch” in Russia: Construction of the New Female Identity in the Popular Psychology Self-Help Discourses By Maria Karepova Submitted to Central European University Department of Gender Studies In partial fulfillment for the degree of Master of Arts in Gender Studies CEU eTD Collection Supervisor: Professor Allaine Cerwonka Budapest, Hungary 2007 Abstract This thesis focuses on the investigation of the construction of an alternative model of female identity produced in the new series of self-help books that emerged in contemporary Russia and that teach women how to become a “bitch” in order to achieve success in every aspect of life. Using a method of discourse analysis, I explore how this type of literature functions in the contemporary Russian context and how dominant discourses of femininity and ideas about women’s power are being (re)defined and contested in these books. Even though the “bitch”-books do not challenge the existing patriarchal system of power relations, sustain and reinforce gender stereotypes, reproduce discourses on individualism and consumerism, nevertheless through specific features of the proposed identity these books represent an attempt to deal with important issues in contemporary Russian society. They offer a positive image of women’s power which contests popular accusations of women as “too emancipated” and as responsible for the emasculation of Russian men today. The books provide a “solution” for existing gender inequality, redefine the conventional understanding of male/female relationship to make it compatible with contemporary context and let women participate in the contemporary capitalist society with its glamour and temptations. CEU eTD Collection ii Acknowledgements I want to thank my wonderful supervisor Allaine Cerwonka for providing insightful criticisms and being a great inspiration and a guide for me in the maze of challenges of putting together this thesis.
