Overview

Issues of Oxygen Content and Porosity: Although traditional near-net-shape forming technologies (such as hot isostatic pressing and injection molding) have made certain progress in the field of titanium alloys, bottleneck issues such as oxygen content and porosity have not been effectively resolved, affecting the overall performance of the materials.
Lightweighting and Integrated Structural Functionality: With the development of aerospace technology, the requirements for lightweight, integral, and structurally functional materials are increasingly high, placing higher demands on the performance of titanium alloys.

Industry Challenges

Challenges and Solutions for Material Performance

The physical properties of titanium materials, such as high strength, low thermal conductivity, and susceptibility to oxidation, necessitate the use of high-precision machining techniques during processing to maintain dimensional accuracy and surface quality of components.

Challenges and Solutions for Manufacturing Costs

The performance stability of titanium materials is crucial for aerospace components, especially under extreme temperatures and stress environments. Each batch of titanium materials must demonstrate impeccable consistency and reliability. This is not only a requirement for the material itself but also an ultimate test of heat treatment processes, material testing technologies, and quality control.

The Dual Constraints of Cost and Efficiency

The processing of titanium materials is costly and has a relatively long production cycle. While ensuring high-performance requirements for components, manufacturers face the dual challenge of maximizing cost-effectiveness and significantly improving production efficiency.
