Titomic, an Australian additive manufacturing company, has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) withShaanxi Lasting Titanium Industry Co. Ltd, the largest manufacturer and exporter of titanium powder in China, to accelerateTitomic Kinetic Fusion（TKF）。
TKF过程涉及a titanium cold-spray technique developed by the Australian Government’sCommonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation(CSIRO). This method uses a supersonic gas jet to fire particles at high speed which fuse to a surface on impact. This enables dissimilar metals to combine, forming a complete component.
“This MoU will provide [an] exclusive supply of large volumes of price point titanium powder for use in Titomic’s TKF systems to create new commercial opportunities for titanium in traditional industries in a more efficient and sustainable way for industrial scale manufacturing,” explained Jeff Lang, the Managing Director at Titomic.
加速钛化动力学融合过程
Shaanxi持久的钛行业（通常称为持久的钛）一直为汽车，航空航天，国防和医疗行业的添加剂制造提供金属粉末，已有20年了。雷电竞充值该公司还参与研究稀有金属生产，冶炼，锻造，滚动，饰面，物理和化学分析以及非破坏性测试的研究。
Within the new partnership with Titomic, Lasting Titanium will enable the cooperative development of new low-cost commercially pure titanium powders for the TKF process – which uses both spherical and irregular morphology metal powders.
The versatility of TKF additive manufacturing process intends to expand production opportunity for Titomic in industries such as building, marine automotive and oil & gas where the application of titanium was previously economically unviable.
Titomic and the defense sector
Earlier this year,TITOMIC与Tauv签署了谅解备忘录, a company applying additive manufacturing to applications including smarter armor for defense, law enforcement and civil industry. This $1.8 million partnership will allow the companies to manufacture Unmanned Armed Vehicles (UAV), soldier systems, and soldier sensors, using 3D printing technology.
结果，原型3D打印了坚固的士兵无人机创建了TITOMIC技术的创建和入围陆军2018行业创新奖, an international defense exposition held in Adelaide.
在此之前，TITOMIC签署了谅解备忘录与造船公司一起Fincantieri澳大利亚, to develop its TKF technology. Through theMaterial Science Testing agreement, Titomic is currently performing kinetic fusion 3D printability tests on an alloy specified by Fincantieri. Lang added:
“This is the first step towards manufacturing large marine parts on our metal 3D printers of limitless scale.”
