美国俄勒冈州奥瑞麦特(Oremet)钛公司研究了一种钛的再循环使用工艺,能生产出高品级的钛合金,并节约20%以上的钛材。钛矿石加工中钛的损失很大,而奥瑞麦特已率先发展了这种再循环技术。奥瑞麦特研究了一种激光固结炉来再熔炼钛碎屑,这种碎屑来自钛铸造车间和大工厂,特别是航空公司每年产生数万磅的废料。 Oremet, Ore., USA Titanium Corp. has studied a titanium recycling process that produces high-grade titanium alloys and saves over 20% on titanium. The loss of titanium in titanium ore processing is significant, and Aoermatt has pioneered this recycling technology. Oremet studied a laser consolidation furnace to remelt titanium scrap, which comes from titanium foundries and large factories, and in particular, airlines produce tens of thousands of pounds of scrap each year.
