Recycling of Ti alloy machining chips
arcMELTER was used to prepare the ingots from machining chips formed during the CNC machining process. Ingots can be machined to a specific diameter and used as a feedstock for severe plastic deformation process. Thanks to the usage of getter in the process the inert atmosphere was additionally purified prior to homogenization process of the machining chips. The combination of arcMelter technology with getter purification and SPD processing represented a significant advancement in materials science and manufacturing. It enabled the efficient utilization of machining chips, a byproduct of CNC machining, transforming them into high-quality feedstock with tailored properties. This closed-loop approach not only reduced waste but also contributed to the sustainability and cost-effectiveness of metal production processes.
