Recently, Norsk Titanium and Safran Landing Systems signed a memorandum of understanding to verify the application of Norwegian titanium's additive manufacturing technology in the actual titanium casting business.
The plan will examine the application of Norwegian Titanium's Rapid Plasma DepositionTM technology to aircraft landing gear components. In addition, it will verify that the additive manufacturing technology meets Safran's high-level material and production requirements. The technical verification will prepare for the subsequent quality certification and production of titanium landing gear parts and related products.
Norwegian Titanium is the world's leading manufacturer of aerospace-grade titanium components. It mainly uses additive manufacturing processes for its production. Rapid Plasma Deposition TM (RPDTM) technology is the company's patented technology. This technology converts titanium wire into complex parts for aircraft structural parts and key aircraft components. The company's president, Michael Canario, said that Safran was one of the earliest companies to cooperate with the company, and the long-term cooperative relationship between them is one of the earlier ones in Europe and North America. This cooperation.
Sébastien Messé, Chief Engineer of Additive Manufacturing, Safran Landing Systems, said that Safran believes that Norwegian Titanium's technology is in line with the company's materials and additive manufacturing strategy, and the cooperation between the two companies has reached an important milestone.
