Sciaky wins TCT Aerospace Application Award

Chicago-based Sciaky Inc., a subsidiary of Phillips Service Industries Inc. (PSI), has won the TCT Aerospace Application Award, along with Lockheed Martin, for the successful production of titanium propellant tanks using Sciaky's Electron Beam Additive Manufacturing (EBAM®) technology.

For this application, Lockheed Martin Space Systems reduced costs by 55 percent, material waste by 75 percent, and production time by 80 percent by using the EBAM metal 3-D printing system instead of traditional forging methods. The system can produce parts from 8 in. to 19 ft. long. Gross deposition rates are 7 to 20 lbs./hr.
