Titanium-copper alloys could be a new 3D printing option for aerospace and medical devices

Successful trials of titanium-copper alloys for 3D printing could kickstart a new range of high-performance alloys for medical device, defence and aerospace applications. Current titanium alloys used in additive manufacturing often cool and bond together in column-shaped crystals during the 3D printing process, making them prone to cracking or distortion. And unlike aluminium or other Read more about Titanium-copper alloys could be a new 3D printing option for aerospace and medical devices[…]

First Rapid Plasma Deposition Machine

SUNY Polytechnic Institute and Norsk Titanium AS today announced the first MERKE IV™ Rapid Plasma Deposition™ (RPD™) machine has been shipped from Norway to the company’s new U.S. headquarters and manufacturing plant currently under construction in Plattsburgh, New York. The MERKE IV™ enables production of titanium components that have equivalent strength to forged parts but Read more about First Rapid Plasma Deposition Machine[…]
