A new Investment Casting process to produce Titanium components with functionally graded hard ceramic insertions for bearing surfaces

该项目旨在为ADML和其实验室Cti开发的一种新工艺建立市场证据，该工艺使用一种新型陶瓷预制件技术生产包含功能梯度Ti/陶瓷轴承表面的铸造部件。将评估市场细分、规模和价值，并绘制竞争格局图，为该工艺的开发提供商业案例信息。该研究将侧重于候选行业的功能要求，将最初的市场渗透集中在最有前途的组件领域，以实现该过程的高附加值。技术规格将根据市场需求制定，对竞争性技术的详细评估对于衡量新工艺的商业可行性至关重要。如果这些供应链和技术分析确实表明新工艺具有可行的市场，则来自该项目的数据将使工艺能够以

This project seeks to establish proof of market for a new process developed by ADML and itscollaborator Cti to produce cast components incorporating functionally graded Ti/ceramicbearing surfaces, using a novel ceramic preform technique.Market segmentation, size and value will be assessed and the competitive landscape mappedto provide the business case information for exploitation of the process.The study will focus on the functional requirements of candidate sectors, to focus initialmarket penetration in the area with the most promising components for high added value fromthe process. Technical specifications will be derived to meet the market needs.Detailed assessment of competitive technologies will be vital in measuring commercialviability of the new process. If these supply chain and technology analyses do indeed showthat the new process has a viable market, data from this project will enable processes to beoperated with
