Titanium Powder Metallurgy – What's After the Kroll Process? - (PPT)

摘要

Research and Development in Titanium, that expand the uses of Ti and Ti alloys, whether it be new alloys, novel processes or manufacturing technologies are beneficial for the whole industry. Long term, new reduction processes that enable new alloys can be very important in this regard. New technology can find its way into existing factories: - Continuous production - Energy Efficient. Particulate metal may open new applications for titanium: - Challenging qualification path as always - Potential benefits in quality inspection - Novel methods have a lower capital cost requirement, but still lower if combined with existing facilities.
