Definition

Is there a precise definition of refractory metals? The titanium article includes titanium among the refractory metals.

Our Mission: Includes all technical aspects of the science of refractory metals and materials which are defined as those having melting points in excess of 1850K, with the exception of titanium.

Creep section

I was reading the creep section, and found it particularly bad. A recap of the definition of creep would be nice, as well as how all those applications and tidbits are related to creep. Someone who knows what they are doing should rewrite/reorganize that whole section. I merely added a link to creep. Drxenocide (talk) 20:43, 14 January 2011 (UTC)
