Abstract:Experimental results for solar metallurgy, solar powder metallurgy of titanium, solar surface treatment of titanium and titanium welding are briefly reviewed. Most of them were performed at Plataforma Solar de Almeria Spain using solar furnaces SF5 and SF40 in gas/vacuum furnace. Generally, it was observed that the time to achieve required sample temperature is very short when concentrated solar power used. Thanks to use of renewable solar energy these technologies starts to be attractive for industrial produc… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
