Fabrication of Next-Generation Aircraft
Within the commercial aerospace industry, the production of next-generation single-aisle, large twin-aisle aircraft, and jet engines is predicted to be a booming factor. The next-generation jet engine uses advanced metallic powder alloys and nickel-based superalloys. It is an economic model of the aircraft, which helps in enhancing fuel efficiency and performance of an aircraft. For instance, Airbus and Boeing have received an order for the manufacturing of more than 40,000 aircraft. Production of massive next-generation aircraft will increase the market of aerospace components eventually. Moreover, the production of next-generation aircraft is forecasted to provide ample growth prospects to the aerospace component forging companies also.
Utilization of Used Serviceable Material (USM) is Likely to Boost the Aerospace Forging Market Size
With a continuous increase in air travel, the number of airplanes is rising substantially to fulfill the increasing demand of consumers. However, nearly 400 to 600 commercial aircraft in the current scenario are retired, aging, and disassembled each year, which results in creating a heap of waste. This massive amount of waste includes approximately 1000 tonnes of carbon fiber, 1800 tonnes of alloys, 30000 tonnes of aluminum, and 600 tonnes of other scrap materials. In context to rising concern towards the environment, aerospace firms such as Pratt & Whitney along with government bodies have identified new ways to replace the raw materials with recycled and renewable for the manufacturing of aerospace parts.
As per the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO), it is expected that the service life of nearly 18,000 airplanes is expected to end over the coming 10-15 years of the rise in air traffic. Therefore, the use of recycled materials is expected to provide huge opportunities for aerospace forging companies. For instance, Boeing and Bharat Forge Ltd. have shown their interest in making an entry into the USM market. Moreover, in the Americas and Europe, the business of recycling provides huge opportunities to both aircraft manufacturers and aerospace forging companies. On the contrary, every country has its terms and conditions related to industries and their activities. For instance, earlier, Europe faced difficulties when it came to buying or recycling titanium. Hence, to eradicate this situation, EcoTitanium is the first unit to recycle aircraft-grade titanium alloys. This facility used advanced furnaces to recycle titanium, meanwhile lowering emission levels.
