i need some technical data of recycling of titanium scraps (specially Gr.5 Ti 6-4) please guide me.
You may consider using a waste atomizer.
The waste powder atomizer supports both non-reactive and reactive metals such as titanium, aluminum and magnesium alloys. It enables the production of powders in granules from 20 to 100 µm with a narrow particle size distribution. It produces up to several hundred grams of material in one production process.
The device is used for powdering metals used in 3D printing technology.

For CP-Titanium, scrap recycling (in industrial scale) has been successfully performed by EB-CHM (electron-beam melting in a water cooled crucible). A large-scale furnace has e.g. been operated by VDM Metals Titanium. Information including a picture of the furnace can be found in
C. Siemers, J. Kiese: Developments in Titanium Research and Applications in Germany, Proceedings of the 13th World Conference on Titanium (Ti-2015), San Diego, USA, August 16th – 20th 2015, TMS, 2016, pp. 41 – 50.
Unfortunately, VDM Metals Titanium has stooped operation in 2015. This route might be an option for Ti-6-4-recycling as well.
