The present invention relates generally to optical rotary joints (35) for enabling optical communication between a rotor and a stator, improved method s of mounting such optical rotary joints on supporting structures such that the rotor and stator remain properly aligned, and to improved optical reflector assemblies for use in such optical rotary joints. The improved optical rotary joint enables o...

A titanium alloy subjected to thermal treatment followed by quenching. The thermal treatment raises the temperature of the alloy to a temperature above the alloy's recrystallization temperature and below the alloy's beta-transus temperature to cause a phase shift within the alloy. After the thermal treatment has been applied for a predetermined time, the alloy is rapidly quenched, preserving the p...
