Abstract
A process for producing a titanium load-bearing structure, which comprises cold-gas dynamic spraying of titanium particles on to a suitably shaped support member, and a titanium load bearing structure so-produced.
Claims14
A process for producing a titanium load-bearing structure that could otherwise be produced by welding together individual titanium components, which process comprises cold-gas dynamic spraying of titanium particles on to a support member to deposit a layer of titanium on the support member and form the load-bearing structure as a unitary construction, wherein the shape and configuration of the support member reflects the intended shape and configuration of the load-bearing structure to be produced, wherein the support member is not removed after cold-gas dynamic spraying has been completed so that the load-bearing structure is a composite structure comprising titanium and the support member, and wherein the layer of titanium is load-bearing.
