Pictures and demonstrations

1) Video Clip: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i4nWpOamlX8
2) Stabilizilation: Titanium in a pure form is in alpha phase which is a hexagonal structure, but alloys help stabilize the beta phase, which is a cubic form which adds a mixture of lightness and malleability






Diamond Indenter- When I did this project on Titanium metals, we had to use a diamond indenter to measure the hardness(strength) of the sample.
3) Finding an interview was not a challenge because I had the research team that helped me with the last project I did. I have numerous contacts and they are overall very nice people. The biggest challenges I had were finding questions that wouldn't make me look stupid, because these professionals tend to be a little critical, so I had to really increase the sophistication. In the actual interview, I was amazed at the clarity that Dr. Fraser had and he had ways to make understanding the practical applications of Titanium Alloys easy. To conclude, I had a lot of fun with this interview and I learned a lot. In the future, I will bring a voice recorder to get more of the information in depth that he said.
4) As of now, I have collected all my sources and I know what I want to say in my paper, I am definitely going to use my books more than my internet sources because they are more credible and they are written by world renown physicists and metallurgists. I think my length at the current time is sufficient and I think that I have written in a way that is easy to understand. As of now, I wouldn't have done the research process differently because everything is running smoothly, and I haven't run i to any major problems.
