Issues plaguing conventional Powder metallurgy of Ti are;
- Not achieving desired properties and microstructureÂ
- Powder is too expensive
We have demonstrated ability to address these issues by producing powders at a lower cost and using near net shape manufacturing process followed by our proprietary post heat treatment to obtain desired microstructure and properties of titanium alloys
Benefits demonstrated by Blacksand
- Lower Powder costÂ
- 30% of conventional powder cost
- Lower cost to produce near net shape
- 80% material savings
- Lower energy cost and environmentally safe
- Desired microstructure and mechanical properties
