High-Pressure Casting: Pioneering a New Way
Titanium alloys are used extensively in aircraft engines and industrial gas turbines because of their low weight and high strength, but they have unfavorable reactions with typical ceramic molds, making them difficult to work with.
Take a Little Weight Off
Reducing the weight on jet engines is a continued focus for scientists at GE Global Research.
