The Korea Institute of Industrial Technology has developed a world-first technology for efficiently recycling titanium metal using hydrogen plasmas and electromagnetic induction.
Titanium is in demand in many industries due to its strength, lightness and resistance to corrosion. In the new process, titanium scrap produced during the manufacture of ingots will be recycled using the new process, and then put through another new technological process - continuous casting - to produce high quality ingots at low cost.
