What is titanium powder?
Titanium metal powder refers to a group of metal titanium particles with a size of less than 1mm, which is a loose material, and its performance combines the characteristics of the titanium matrix and the commonality of the powder body. titanium powder is the same as other powders, and its properties include the chemical properties, physical properties and process properties of the powder. However, titanium powder and other powders have a common physical property that they have a large specific surface, so Ti powder also has a large surface free energy. Therefore, titanium powder is more active than metal titanium, more easily reacted with other elements or compounds, more easily oxidized, flammable, and explosive, and belongs to a kind of dangerous goods. Its purity and various properties largely depend on the preparation method and its process conditions.
What is the purity of titanium powder?
Titanium metal powder includes titanium content and impurity content. The purity of titanium powder is related to its particle size. For products of the same specification, the smaller the particle size, the lower the purity. Usually, the (coarse) titanium powder containing more than (or equal to) 99% or close to 99% of titanium is called a grade product (if it is a titanium alloy powder, it should include alloy components), and the one with a lower purity than it is called a quasi-grade product. In the grade of titanium powder, in addition to the special purpose requirements, it is generally required to use the oxygen content to classify (the same as the titanium content), that is, the lower the oxygen content, the higher the quality, and the oxygen content is often less than 0.15% is called high-quality Ti powder.
What are the uses of titanium powder?
1. Titanium metal powder is widely used. Grade titanium powder has different uses according to different purity and particle size. It is mainly used as raw material for preparing titanium or titanium-containing alloys by powder metallurgy. Other applications are as electric vacuum getter, raw material for solid source in electric vacuum, surface coating material. Titanium fillers for plastics and raw materials for various titanium compounds (such as TiB2, TiN, TiC, etc.).
2. Dihydrogenated titanium powder can be used as ceramic and metal welding agent, pure hydrogen source material and powder metallurgy sintering catalyst.
3. titanium powder is also used in "metal additives". It is used as a titanium agent. As an additive, titanium powder can be divided into titanium content: Ti≥88%Ti≥90%Ti≥92%Ti≥95%Ti≥97%Ti≥98 %. The particle size is divided into 40 mesh, 60 mesh, 80 mesh and 100 mesh, which can be used as "titanium agent".
4. titanium powder is mainly used as a grain refiner for cast aluminum and a deflagration agent for pyrotechnics and rituals. Ti powder will emit white sparks during combustion. titanium powder is flammable when exposed to open flames and strong friction. Commonly used titanium powder for fireworks is 100 mesh for outdoor use, and 200 mesh powder for indoor cold light fireworks. The higher the purity, the whiter the spark.
