After a long research and development period, beginning with the commercial availability of titanium in early 1950's, the steam turbine manufacturers and users have been developing titanium alloy blading for the long last row and steam transition row applications. Commercial introduction of titanium blading into low pressure steam turbines is just beginning in many countries over the world. A workshop was organized by the Electric Power Research institute and held in Palo Alto, California on November 9 and 10, 1988, to provide a record of the status of the development and to facilitate and accelerate the introduction of the titanium blading into commercial use. After an introductory paper that provided a historical background on the titanium blade application in low pressure steam turbine, the workshop was organized into the following sessions: A, Design and Application of Titanium Blades; B. Manufacture of Titanium Blades; C. Properties and Characteristics of Titanium Blades; D. Discussion of Workshop Issues and Conclusions. In total, there were 23 papers presented, including the final discussion. These are presented, with records of discussions after each paper, in the present volume. Attendance at the workshop was limited to 40 participants, session chairmen, and utility users. The attendance included representatives from eastern and western Europe, Japan, and the United States. As such, it is a complete statement of the science, technology, and application of titanium steam turbine blading worldwide.
