Titanium is an abundant resource on earth and the issue with extracting it from the ground is that the processes are expensive. For additive manufacturing Titanium powder needs to be reused and one process of reconditioning of titanium powder is spheroidising. The review also included understanding how value chain analysis has been conducted in South Africa in the past five years for bench marking purposes. The literature review analyses how far research has gone in terms of value chain analysis for spheroidisation process. Similar research papers have been analysedfrom the past for bench marking purposes.
