ABOUT THE COVER
Picking up where May's issue left off, this issue of JOM continues our coverage of the diversifying titanium industry, moving from the applications-oriented articles presented last month into this month's largely processing-oriented collection. New processing technology will enable manufacturers to keep up with and further build demand as applications increase. The cover shows titanium ready for shipment at an Oremet Titanium facility.
