Spherical Titanium Alloy Powder is an important raw material for near-net-shape manufacturing of titanium alloy components using advanced technologies such as Hot Isostatic Pressing (HIP), Additive Manufacturing (AM), Cold Spray (CS) and more.
Due to its good flowability, high bulk density, low impurity content and other advantages, Spherical Titanium Alloy Powder has become an important basic raw material for titanium and titanium alloy additive manufacturing, injection molding, hot isostatic pressing and spraying processes.
Spherical Titanium Alloy Powder has a number of properties that make it ideal for a variety of applications, including:
- a) High strength. Spherical titanium alloy powder is strong and has a high strength-to-weight ratio.
- b) High toughness. Spherical titanium alloy powder is tough and can withstand a lot of impact.
- c) Good corrosion resistance. Spherical titanium alloy powder is corrosion resistant and can withstand a variety of environments.
- d) Good thermal conductivity. Spherical titanium alloy powder has good thermal conductivity and can dissipate heat quickly.
There are many methods for preparing Spherical Titanium Alloy Powder, such as Plasma Atomization (PA) process, Super-Sonic Plasma Rotating Electrode Process (SS-PREP) and more. Among them, the PA process has the highest yield of 0-45 μm products and the highest utilization rate of raw material titanium wire. It is currently the most suitable powder preparation process for Laser Powder Bed Fusion (LPBF)3. SS-PREP has the best comprehensive powder performance, including powder sphericity, fluidity, loose packing density, hollow rate and surface quality.
There are a few challenges associated with using spherical titanium alloy powder, including:
- a) Spherical titanium alloy powder is more expensive than other types of titanium powder.
- b) Powder handling. Spherical titanium alloy powder is a fine powder and can be difficult to handle.
- c) Powder contamination. Spherical titanium alloy powder can be easily contaminated with other materials.
Despite these challenges, spherical titanium alloy powder is a versatile material with a wide range of applications. Its properties make it ideal for a variety of demanding applications.
