Titanium alloys continued

CSC atomization was developed by AEA Harwell Laboratories in the UK in the early 1970 s. Initially, the CSC process was used for the atomization of refractory and oxide materials such as alumina, plutonium oxides, and uranium monocarbide in nuclear fuel applications. Since it is well-suited to the atomization of reactive metals/alloys or those subject to segregation, the CSC process has been applied to a variety of materials such as iron, cobalt, nickel, and titanium alloys and many refractory metals. The process also has potential to scale up to a continuous process.

Ceramics consisting of BN and TiB2 or ZrB2 show electric conductivity and are used in the evaporation of aluminium and as refractory joint sections for continuous casting [15 to 20]. If used as cathode material in aluminium electrolysis, sodium penetration at the grain boundaries has been observed [21]. Titanium alloys containing a-BN may be used as composite materials for prosthetics [22].
