The Hindu
The technology has been developed by Defence Metallurgical Research Laboratory (DMRL), the metallurgical laboratory of DRDO at Hyderabad.
Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) has established the near isothermal forging technology to produce all the five stages of High-Pressure Compressors (HPC) discs out of difficult-to-deform titanium alloy using its unique 2000 MT isothermal forge press for establishing self-reliance in aeroengine technology. The technology has been developed by Defence Metallurgical Research Laboratory (DMRL), the metallurgical laboratory of DRDO at Hyderabad. This is a crucial technology and with this development, India has joined the league of limited global engine developers to have the manufacturing capabilities of such critical aero engine components.More Related News
