Application: Systems and methods for high strength titanium rod additive manufacturing (Patent ID: US20240207936A1)

The patent filed by Raytheon Technologies Corp. describes a method for titanium rod additive manufacturing. The process involves mixing powdered metals including titanium, iron, vanadium, and aluminum to create a powder blend, which is then isostatically pressed to form a billet with a specific cross-sectional profile. The billet is subsequently cut to produce a rod feedstock that is loaded into an additive manufacturing machine for the production of metallic components.

The claims associated with the patent detail the specific steps involved in forming the rod feedstock for titanium stir friction welding additive manufacturing. This includes the composition of the powdered metals, the isostatic pressing process, and the cutting of the billet to create the rod feedstock. Additionally, the claims specify the use of titanium hydride powder, the percentages of iron, aluminum, and vanadium in the powder blend, and the sintering process that occurs after isostatic pressing. The sintering is carried out within a specific temperature range and under vacuum conditions to further enhance the properties of the material.
