花蓮民宿，就是回家

Boeing and Southpowder metal Africa´s Council for Scientific and Industrial Research recently announced plans to partner in a new research effort involving the future of titanium powder。 The two organizations will collaborate in investigating and defining processes that could increase the supply and use of titanium powder-based products in commercial markets， such as the aerospace industry， on a commercial scale。

Moving forward， the Boeing Research & Technology organization will overseepowder metal the research for the company， an agreement outlined in a Memorandum of Understanding signed by the two parties。 South Africa´s Council for Scientific and Industrial Research is seen a fitting partner for the research project， as South Africa is home to the world´s second-largest reserve of titanium ore。 What´s more， South Africa has developed and patented technology to convert titanium ore to titanium powder， and South Africa´s Council for Scientific and Industrial Research recently launched a titanium pilot plant in an effort to advance titanium powder technology and future uses。

A silvery metal， titanium is held in high regard for its corrosion resistance and strength， as well as its high strength-to-weight ratio， which is highly valued in such commercial industries as the aerospace industry。 Titanium serves as one of the most abundant elements， and can be found in rock， coal ash， plants， and even the human body。

When titanium is processed， it turns into a fine metal powder， which is also known as titanium powder。 Ranging in color from gray to black， titanium in powder form offers the same properties as solid titanium and is often used in the creation of lightweight parts for aerospace transport vessels， as well as propellants， as it has the capability to withstand extreme temperatures。 Titanium powder has long been used in a variety of applications， but new technologies could take it much， much further。

More advanced titanium powder research may result in an economical， effective way tosintered metal produce the powder and incorporate the powder into a variety of commercial industries， supplies， and products。 Boeing and the South Africa´s Council for Scientific and Industrial Research´s efforts may be just what the aviation industry and commercial markets need to find a way to manufacture titanium powder， and reduce waste and energy consumption at the same time。

Advanced titanium technologies could result in a strong， lightweight product that is produced easier， more efficiently， and with less strain on the environment and the bottom line。 Forsintered metal the aerospace industry， this future research promises great rewards。
