Norsk Titanium announced development of Inconel 625 for US Navy applications. Under a contract with Bechtel Plant Machinery Inc. Norsk Titanium has adapted their industrialized RPD process for Inconel 625. As part of the ongoing effort, Norsk Titanium and BPMI are developing the deposition parameters and heat treatment process needed to produce additively manufactured Inconel 625 with material properties equivalent to legacy castings and forgings.

Inconel 625 is used in US Navy applications that require high strength and resistance to corrosion. Bechtel Plant Machinery Inc. is developing new manufacturing processes for Inconel 625 to deliver cost and schedule savings to their customers as well as developing alternating sources of supply for crucial materials. Norsk Titanium has recently announced qualification and production milestones in their core commercial aerospace titanium market.

The addition of nickel superalloys and maritime applications is a key part of Norsk Titanium's long term growth strategy.
