ARIES -ST Study L. Waganer 4 December 1998 Page 1 Revised TF Coil Costing Cost Assessment Changes Revised Weights Adjusted to 11/98 Strawman CAD Baseline –0.5 m Thick on Mid-Plane, Can Estimate 0.7-m Case When Available Increased Material Wastage to 5% on Both Cu and Al Obtained Raw Material Quotes - Increment above LME Prices –Suitable Alloys Available with Low Percentages of Adverse Elements –On-Site Recycle of Copper Does Not Seem Practical - Sell to Recyclers Included Fabrication Hardware Cost in Estimate –Al : Furnaces, Transfer Pumps, Heated Piping, Atomizing Heads –Cu: Powder Storage, Transport System, Positioning System, Melting Heads Estimated Energy Cost to Heat and Melt Metals Reduced Number of Alum. Spray Casting Heads to Slow Rate –Reduced Capital Costs More Than Offsets Longer Fabrication Time (6 Mo.) Added Costs for Contingency (20%) and Fee (12%)

ARIES -ST Study L. Waganer 4 December 1998 Page 3 Revised TF Coil Costing Laser or Plasma Arc Forming A laser or plasma-arc deposits a layer of metal (from powder) on a blank to begin the material buildup The laser head is directed to lay down the material in accordance with a CAD part specification AeroMet has produced a variety of titanium parts as seen in attached photo. Some are in as-built condition and others machined to final shape. Also see Penn State for additional information.
