Features of 3D Printing Ti6Al4V Powder TC4 Powder

• Excellent Mechanical Properties4: After 3D printing, it shows high strength, toughness and good wear resistance. The printed parts can withstand high mechanical loads and impacts, with tensile strength reaching 1200 – 1300MPa in the printed state. This makes them suitable for applications with high material performance requirements, such as aerospace and automotive manufacturing.
• Good Corrosion Resistance: TC4 powder contains elements such as titanium, aluminum and vanadium, which can form a dense and stable passive film on the surface. This gives it excellent corrosion resistance in various environments, including salt water and chemical media, making it applicable to the chemical and marine fields.
• Low Density and High Specific Strength4: It has a relatively low density, about 4.43g/cm³, much lower than that of common metals like steel. However, it has high strength, resulting in a high specific strength, which is conducive to reducing the weight of components and improving the efficiency and performance of equipment, which is significant in the aerospace field.
• Good Biocompatibility4: It shows excellent biocompatibility and is less likely to cause immune rejection and other reactions in the human body. Therefore, it is widely used in the medical field to manufacture artificial joints, orthopedic implants and other medical devices, helping to accelerate the patient’s recovery process.
• Good Processability: It has good fluidity, loose packing density and tap density. The powder particles are spherical or nearly spherical with a uniform particle size distribution, usually in the range of 15 – 53μm1. This makes it easy to spread evenly during 3D printing, ensuring the accuracy and surface quality of printed parts.

 Production Method of 3D Printing Ti6Al4V Powder TC4 Powder

Electrode Induction Melting Inert Gas Atomization (EIGA)

1. Raw Material Preparation: High-purity titanium, aluminum, vanadium and other raw materials are precisely weighed according to the composition ratio of Ti6Al4V to ensure accurate chemical composition.
2. Melting: The raw materials are put into an induction melting furnace and heated to 1600 – 1800°C in an inert gas atmosphere, such as argon until they are completely melted to form a homogeneous molten metal liquid.
3. Atomization: The molten metal flows out of the crucible through a nozzle at a certain speed. Meanwhile, high-pressure argon or nitrogen is sprayed onto the molten metal stream at a high speed. The strong shearing force of the gas breaks the molten metal into tiny droplets.
4. Solidification and Collection: The droplets solidify rapidly during the falling process to form a spherical metal powder, which is collected at the bottom of the atomization chamber.
   Plasma Rotating Electrode Process (PREP)
5. Electrode Preparation: A Ti6Al4V alloy rod is machined into an electrode with a specific diameter and length. The electrode’s surface should be smooth and free of defects.
6. Rotation and Melting: The electrode is placed in a vacuum or inert gas environment and rotates at a high speed of 10,000 – 20,000 revolutions per minute. A plasma arc is used to heat the end face of the electrode to make it uniformly melted.
7. Droplet Formation and Solidification: The centrifugal force generated by high-speed rotation causes the molten metal at the end of the electrode to be thrown out in the form of droplets. The droplets solidify instantaneously into spherical metal powder in the air
   Plasma Atomization (PA)
8. Raw Material Feeding: Ti6Al4V alloy materials are fed into the plasma torch through a feeding device.
9. Melting and Atomization: In the plasma torch, a high-temperature plasma arc with a temperature of up to 10,000°C or more is generated. The raw materials are quickly melted or vaporized in the plasma arc and atomized into fine droplets by the high-velocity plasma jet.
10. Cooling and Collection: The droplets cool and solidify rapidly in an inert gas atmosphere such as argon and are collected in the atomization tower system.

 Storage Condition of 3D Printing Ti6Al4V Powder TC4 Powder

Controlled Humidity: The powder should be stored in an environment with low humidity. Generally, the relative humidity should be controlled below 30%. High humidity can lead the powder to absorb moisture, which may lead to oxidation and agglomeration and affect the fluidity and formability of the powder during 3D printing.

Reduced Temperature Level: The storage space temperature level ought to be relatively low, ideally between 15 ° C and 25 ° C. An Excessive temperature level can quicken the powder’s oxidation action and influence its efficiency. In addition, sudden temperature modifications must be avoided to prevent condensation on the powder surface.

Inert Gas Protection: Ti6Al4V powder is usually stored in a sealed container filled with an inert gas such as argon or nitrogen. This can isolate the powder from oxygen in the air and reduce the risk of oxidation.

Dust-free and Clean Environment: The storage area should be clean and free of dust and other impurities to prevent foreign matter from mixing into the powder and affecting the quality of the printed parts.

1) Store in a dry environment at room temperature.

2) Avoid damp and high temperature.

3) Use immediately after opening the inner packing bag.
