3D Printing Alloy Spherical Titanium Powder

Overview Of 3D Printing Alloy Spherical Titanium Powder

3D Printing Alloy Spherical Titanium Powder is a spherical titanium alloy powder designed specifically for 3D printing. The main component is titanium, which may contain other alloying elements, such as aluminum, vanadium, etc., to improve its mechanical properties. For spherical powders, this morphology helps improve the powder’s flowability during the printing process, reduce printing defects, and promote uniform powder accumulation.

Titanium and titanium alloys have excellent strength-to-weight ratios, making them an ideal choice for the aerospace, medical, and automotive industries. Titanium and its alloys can resist corrosion in many environments, including salt water, chemical media, etc. Titanium alloy can maintain its performance at high temperatures and is suitable for high-temperature applications. Titanium alloys are widely used in the medical field because they are compatible with human tissues and do not produce harmful reactions.

Production Method of 3D Printing Alloy Spherical Titanium Powder

 Gas Atomization Method

Principle: High-purity titanium or titanium alloy materials are melted at high temperatures to form a molten metal liquid. A high-pressure inert gas, such as argon, is then sprayed onto the molten metal at high speed. The gas’s strong shearing and impact forces break the molten metal into tiny droplets. These droplets cool and solidify rapidly in the gas atmosphere to form spherical titanium powder.

Plasma Rotating Electrode Process (PREP)

Principle: A consumable titanium alloy electrode is rotated at high speed in a plasma arc environment. The plasma arc melts the end of the rotating electrode, and the centrifugal force generated by the high-speed rotation causes the molten metal to be thrown out in the form of droplets. These droplets solidify in the air to form spherical titanium powder.

Chemical Vapor Deposition Method (CVD)

Principle: Titanium-containing gas sources, such as titanium tetrachloride (TiCl₄), are mixed with reducing gases, such as hydrogen (H₂), in a reaction chamber. Under high temperature and certain pressure conditions, chemical reactions occur on the surface of the substrate or in the gas phase, and titanium atoms are deposited and grow to form spherical titanium powder particles.
