DRDO develops critical near isothermal forging technology for Aero-engines.
Isothermal forging is a hot working process to work on super alloys that have low forge ability.
The work-piece is maintained at its maximum elevated temperature throughout the entire operation.
It involves developing complex titanium and nickel based alloys which can withstand temperatures exceeding 1000 degrees Celsius. It would help in India in developing jet engines with thrust to power a combat fighter.
