The circular utilization of titanium alloy scrap in aerospace manufacturing is emerging as a critical solution in an era of scarce resources.

OLD WESTBURY, N.Y. - Californer -- The circular utilization of titanium alloy scrap in aerospace manufacturing is emerging as a critical solution in an era of scarce resources.

The global titanium recycling market is experiencing steady growth. According to a market report released by QYResearch, titanium scrap exhibits significant price variations based on type and quality.

The aerospace sector's demand for high-purity recycled titanium continues to rise. Leveraging its technical expertise in nickel recycling, Dongsheng has expanded its operations into the titanium recycling market.

The company employs mechanical crushing and physical sorting processes to treat titanium-containing scrap. By optimizing its oxygen supply system, it achieves smelting temperatures approximately 15% lower than traditional methods.

Aerospace titanium alloys and high-temperature alloys are rich in precious metals

Aerospace-grade titanium alloys and high-temperature alloys contain rare precious metals like rhenium. According to a China Securities Research report, approximately 80% of global rhenium is used in producing high-temperature alloys for aerospace applications.

This metal is an irreplaceable material in aircraft engine blade manufacturing. Global rhenium resources are highly concentrated, with proven reserves totaling only 2,400 tons.

Dongsheng precious metal recycling Corporation prioritizes extracting associated precious metals like rhenium from aerospace scrap during its titanium recycling operations.

The company employs spectral analysis to precisely identify precious metal content in raw materials, achieving efficient separation through electrolytic refining and chemical purification.

"Our developed pretreatment process enables direct use of aerospace alloy scrap in refining operations, significantly reducing energy consumption," stated a Dongsheng engineer. This technology lowers processing costs by approximately 20%.

Aerospace Engine Turbine Blades

Rhenium-containing high-temperature alloys are widely used in aerospace engine turbine blades, as these materials maintain stable performance under extreme high-temperature conditions.

A research report by CITIC Securities highlights that rhenium is irreplaceable in the aerospace industry, serving as a critical mineral essential for national security and military strategy.

Dongsheng processes engine turbine blade scrap using vacuum melting technology to recover rhenium.

A company technician explained: "We employ argon gas shielding technology to stabilize the oxygen content in recycled titanium below 0.15%, meeting aerospace reuse standards."

Dongsheng plans to expand its titanium recycling/nickel recycling operations into more high-end manufacturing sectors within the next two years.
