now we gotWorking with pure titanium is out or question. We need Titanium alloy for forging. Now we all know how much we are lagging behind in metallurgy right now. Don't worry and keep your hopes up. This is just the beginning
We only got plant to produce Titanium, not to develop any alloy. We need to work on creating Titanium alloy first to forge cannons.
That's first step...we will get there too
Yeah recently DRDO gave license to a pune firm for manufacturing of CuTi Copper Titanium Alloy
Now the thing is, forging a armour plate from Titanium alloy is different from forging a barrel with titanium alloy. Now each Titanium Copper alloy is not fit enough for barrel formation. We need something like NKT322 GIGALLOY to forge gun barrel. Now whether we have made it or not or being able to form it or not is something to see for in future.
Problem here is, Kalyani is not taking care of the metallurgical part. They are simply acquiring the material and designing the gun. Kalyani is designing guns, but I don't see any report of them venturing into the field of metallurgy.
I think it is metallurgy part of atags which is taken care by Kalyani ie barrel . It is barrel manufacturing which is expertise of Kalyani . They also displayed a titanium barrel for their light gun in replacement of m777 . Can any one enlighten us more .
By metallurgy I mean design the whole alloy, not the parts of the gun.
Well got the news in Defexpo, kalyana light weight gun is almost same weight as American light weight and its competitive.Working with pure titanium is out or question. We need Titanium alloy for forging. Now we all know how much we are lagging behind in metallurgy right now. Don't worry and keep your hopes up. This is just the beginning
Hope for Kalayani to get large order for this gun and may be export to Afghanistan
already his gun is in the race, the has got all the tech and ready to start production at short notice of one month. He has done all because we were not having the gun.
That gun too is American. Designed by Mandus group, produced by Bharat Forge.
Already posted he is real patriot he got us tech. No need to discuss how.
Making a gun is one thing and designing the metal is another thing. Now Garden research and Mazgaon docks do build warships in India, but the weapon grade steel is produced by SAIL. Mazgaon dock and Garden research has nothing to do with R&D of the metallurgical part, that is building the raw metal. In same way, Kalyani too is acquiring the raw material from some one to forge the part. Now whether this supplier is an Indian or a foreign company, that I don't know. But as far as I know, Kalyani doesn't own a foundry to produce a Titanium alloy, nor they have any Lab under their wings which is doing any R&D for designing any alloy.
I am no where refuting that, all I am saying is what about the metallurgical part? From where they are getting the raw material for designing purpose?
