Titanium-based alloy and method of heat treatment of large-sized semifinished items of this alloy
The inventive titanium alloy comprises, expressed in mass %: aluminium 4.0-6.3; vanadium 4.5-5.9; molybdenum 4.5-5.9; chromium 2.0-3.6; ferrum 0.2-0.5; the rest being titanium. An equivalent molybdenum content is determined as corresponding to Mo equiv ≧13.8. The inventive method for heat treatment consists in heating to t β⇄α+β −(30-70)° C., conditioning during 2-5 hrs, air or water cooling and age-hardening at a temperature ranging from 540° C. to 600° C. during 8-16 hrs. Said alloy has a high volumetric deformability and is used for manufacturing massive large-sized forged and pressed pieces having a high strength level, satisfactory characteristics of plasticity and fracture toughness.

Method for manufacturing composite articles and the articles obtained therefrom
A method of molding an article comprises inserting a mandrel into the cavity of the mold; placing a niobium based refractory metal intermetallic composite powder into a cavity of a mold; consolidating the niobium based refractory metal intermetallic composite around the mandrel; and chemically removing the mandrel from the composite. In one embodiment, the molded article comprises a turbine component for use in a turbine system.

Solder bumps formation using solder paste with shape retaining attribute
Method of forming solder bumps of an integrated circuit package is described. A solder paste is formed from a material having a characteristic that the deposited instances thereof substantially retain their geometric shape upon exposure to electromagnetic radiation.

Ti(C,N)-(Ti,Nb,W)(C,N)-Co alloy for milling cutting tool applications
A titanium based carbonitride alloy containing Ti, Nb, W, C, N and Co. The alloy also contains, in addition to Ti, 9-14 at % Co with only impurity levels of Ni and Fe, 1-<3 at % Nb, 3-8 at % W and has a C/(C+N) ratio of 0.50-0.75. The amount of undissolved Ti(C,N) cores should be kept between 26 and 37 vol % of the hard constituents, the balance being one or more complex carbonitrides containing Ti, Nb and W. The alloy is particularly useful for milling of steel.

Coating composition
A coating composition comprising an aqueous mixture containing acid-stable particles and one or more fluoroacids. The amount of the acid-stable particles in the coating composition is from 0.005% to 8% by weight on a dry weight basis. The acid-stable particles can be selected from aluminum-modified silica particles, nonaluminum-modified silica particles, and organic particles selected from anionically stabilized polymer dispersion particles. The invention is also directed to a coating on a metal substrate. The coating contains acid-stable particles attached to the metal substrate through a metal-oxide matrix. The metal-oxide matrix comprises a metal selected from titanium, zirconium, silicon, hafnium, boron, aluminum, germanium, or tin.
