Overview of titanium

Titanium is a chemical element, symbol Ti, atomic number 22. Its atomic weight is 47.867, measured by Dalton. It is a shiny transition metal, silver, low density, high strength, corrosion resistance in seawater, aqua regia and chlorine.

Titanium can be alloyed with iron, aluminum, vanadium, molybdenum and other elements to produce strong and light alloys for aerospace, military, industrial process, automobile, agriculture, medical restoration, orthopedic implants, dental and root canal treatment instruments and documents, dental implants, sporting goods, jewelry, hand machines, and other applications.

Titanium and titanium alloy powder

Titanium powder is a widely used metal powder. Titanium powder is silver gray irregular powder, which has the characteristics of high suction, high temperature, or spark under flammable conditions. Titanium powder metallurgy (P / M) provides the possibility to manufacture clean or near clean shape parts without material loss and cost related complex parts to process forged billets. The powder can be mixed with elements or pre alloyed, and then cured by metal injection molding, hot isostatic pressing, direct powder rolling or laser engineering forming.

Titanium and titanium aluminum alloys have excellent comprehensive properties and are widely used in SLM, EBM, hip, MIM and other fields. Spherical titanium powder is an excellent metal 3D printing material, which is widely used in the manufacture of high-strength products.

For a long time, titanium powder as an alloy component has been widely used in various occasions. By using it, it is possible to create net shape parts, with zero or Z small material loss and machine complex parts using forged billets.
