Cost Effective Developments for Fabrication of Titanium Components

Article Preview

Abstract:

The major reason that there is not more widespread use of titanium and its alloys is the high cost. In this paper, developments in one cost effective approach to fabrication of titanium components - powder metallurgy - will be discussed under various aspects of this technology. The aspects to be discussed are the blended elemental approach, pre-alloyed techniques, additive layer manufacturing, metal injection molding, spray deposition and microwave sintering. A brief review of a number of low cost powder production processes is also presented.
