Abstract

An improved method of forming titanium alloy in sheet form is taught. The sheet is formed by plasma spraying larger particles of greater than 100 μm diameter onto a receiving surface to form a sheet having a rough surface due to the larger particles. An RF powered gun is employed to form the deposit using the larger particles. The formed sheet is separated from the substrate and rolled to reduce the sheet thickness as well as to render the rough surface smoother and more even.
