人们越来越相信,飞机用粉末钛部件可在两年之内以工业规模投入生产,这个突破可能使形状复杂钛合金部件的成本削减40%,主要的节省是钛废料的减少。在某些情况下——例如制造带有深槽和薄腹隔的部件,如果用锻坯经过机加工来制造,可能使80%以上的金属变成碎屑,这在钛的要价为8～12美元/磅的时候,是一种费钱的工艺,此外,采用粉末工艺生产近于成品形状的部件,减少机加工时间,提高生产能力。
Increasingly, there is growing conviction that powder titanium parts for aircraft can be produced on an industrial scale within two years, a breakthrough that could cut the cost of complex shaped titanium parts by 40%, with the major savings being the reduction of titanium scrap. In some cases, for example, the manufacture of parts with deep grooves and thin ventral septa, which if machined from a forged blank, can cause over 80% of the metal to become crumbs, At $ 12 a pound, it is a costly process, and the use of powder technology to produce parts of nearly the finished shape reduces machining time and increases productivity.
