After recycled titanium alloy chips are crushed and cleaned, they are pressed
into cylindrically briquettes with a relative density of 0.6, and placed into capsules.
The capsules are heated and placed into a preheated pressing rig. The pressing
rig repetitively applies axial force to the capsule, resulting in a relative density
of at least 0.95. The product billets are used for consumable electrodes, secondary
casting alloys, forgings, extruded semi-finished products and the like.
