In recent years, the Austrian manufacturing industry has been continuously deepening its research on titanium alloy forging technology, and this trend is closely related to the support of national policies. This article will introduce the current research status of the Austrian manufacturing industry in the field of titanium alloy forging technology, as well as the promoting role of national policies in these studies.
Titanium alloy forged products have excellent properties such as high strength and corrosion resistance, and are widely used in aerospace, aviation, medical equipment and other fields. In Austria, research on titanium alloy forging covers multiple aspects including materials, processing technology, quality control, etc. Well-known Austrian manufacturing companies such as Boehler Aerospace, FMT, Reinshagen, etc. are carrying out technical research and application.
In terms of materials, Austria is currently mainly studying the preparation of high-purity titanium alloys, including various physical and chemical methods and mechanical methods. At the same time, attention to cold forming and subsequent heat forming of precision titanium alloy forged products is also a major research hotspot. For example, to solve the problem of complex part size and high precision requirements in some industries, Austrian researchers have found that various types of simulation analysis can be performed on the core prior to processing.
In terms of processing technology, in addition to forming technology, including heat treatment, surface treatment, and welding, Austria also has involved in these areas. The processing of titanium alloy forged products is prone to introduce impurities such as oxidation, which affects product quality. Therefore, process control is essential. In this field, the Austrian Ministry of Science and Technology has issued a policy support for “MOFEB & Microfine Processing”, which encourages Austrian companies to adopt more sophisticated technologies in titanium alloy forging research and development and processing, to improve processing accuracy and reduce environmental pollution.
Recently, the electrochemical preparation technology of titanium alloy forged products has also received attention in Austria. Among them, the electrolyte is crucial to the preparation of high-quality titanium alloy forged products. Therefore, the Technical Sharing Program (TSP) launched by Austria also includes relevant policy encouragement and support in this field.
Overall, the close cooperation between Austrian policies and manufacturing industry has created a favorable environment for research on titanium alloy forging technology. From the research of high-purity titanium alloy materials, exploration of processing technology, to the support of the electrochemical preparation field, they all provide strategic support for the titanium alloy forging manufacturing industry in Austria.
