l What is the application of Titanium powder?
1. Titanium powder is a kind of widely used metal powder. Titanium metal powder is silver gray irregular powder, large suction, high temperature, or produce sparks in the flammable state. Titanium powder metallurgy (P/M) offers the possibility of manufacturing clean or nearly clean formed parts without the material losses and costs associated with processing complex parts from forged billets. Powders can be elemental mixtures or pre-alloyed and then cured by metal injection molding, hot isostatic pressing, direct powder rolling, or laser engineered mesh molding.
2. Titanium and titanium aluminum alloy have excellent comprehensive performance and are widely used in SLM, EBM, HIP, MIM and other fields. Titanium spherical powder is one of the best metal 3D printing materials and is widely used to manufacture high strength products.
The traditional extraction process of Ti powder is called Kroll process. The technology requires temperatures up to 1040°C and involves a range of sub-processes, including alloying, hot isostatic pressing, etc. After that, more methods must be implemented to produce prealloyed Titanium powder. To remove contaminants, the material must undergo a hydrogen-dihydride process, cold pressing, vacuum hot pressing, final vacuum annealing, plasma rotating electrode process, titanium aerosolization process, and plasma atomization. In order to produce the final product, some metal-integration strategies must be implemented. Powder injection molding or metal injection molding is a cost-effective and long-term method for mass manufacturing of small size metals. Then there is the direct powder rolling process, which is used to produce sheets. In order to rapidly manufacture, strengthen and repair metal parts, laser engineering mesh forming technology is applied. In order to consolidate the Titanium powder to its maximum theoretical density, the components must be subjected to hot isostatic pressing, which is performed at high pressure and temperature. Finally, in order to obtain the final product, discharge plasma sintering or current assisted sintering is applied to produce Titanium powder with better mechanical properties and good grain size without all unwanted grain growth.
Using Titanium metal powder to print 3D car parts is one of the latest breakthroughs in metal manufacturing. It allows the production of different parts for automotive and aerospace frames and engines through 3D printing. Titanium powder still plays an important role in metal injection molding and powder metallurgy.
Titanium powder has long been used as an alloy component in a variety of applications. By using it, net shaped parts can be created with zero material loss or minimal material loss, which matches machine-complex parts using forged billets.
