What is TC4 titanium alloy powder?
The content of H, N, and O in TC4 titanium alloy powder is relatively low, which meets the requirements of high-performance printing products. The powder particles prepared by this process are very close to a spherical shape, with a smooth surface, good fluidity, no excessive impurities, and single powder particles. It is observed that when the geometric shape of TC4 titanium alloy powder particles is spherical, the forming performance is good. In contrast, the elliptical powder has poor fluidity, and the forming performance is poor; spherical titanium alloy powder has good fluidity during laser 3D printing.
Application of TC4 titanium alloy powder
In dentistry, SLM technology can be customized and produce precisely personalized prostheses with the best clinical application effect. This technology has been relatively mature in producing dental stents, crowns, and bridges.
In orthopedics, porous titanium alloy has excellent corrosion resistance, biocompatibility, and mechanical properties matching with human bone. It is an ideal orthopedic substitute for the human body. The porous titanium material has a unique porous structure and rough internal and external surface, which is conducive to the adhesion, increment, and differentiation of osteoblasts, promotes the growth of new bone tissue and facilitates the formation of a whole between the implant and bone.
 
Microstructure of TC4 titanium alloy powder
A circular molten pool is formed when the ion beam acts on the TC4 titanium alloy powder. The temperature gradually decreases in the molten pool from the center to the edge and assumes a Gaussian distribution. The difference in temperature makes the melting degree of TC4 titanium alloy powder different. The powder with a low temperature in the edge area does not melt or melt fully, which leads to the difference in the micro-morphology and size of the grain in the molten pool and the edge area. The pulse dotting mode is used for metal powder cladding; It can reduce the influence of temperature gradient on the heat-affected zone. When the latter heat source acts on the alloy powder, the energy is added to the edge area of the previous spot simultaneously, and the remelting is carried out. The energy grains continue to grow along the direction of absorbing energy.
 
Knowledge of TC4 titanium alloy powder
1. TC4 titanium alloy powder prepared by plasma rotating electrode method has a very spherical shape, smooth surface, good fluidity, good powder characteristics, and meets the requirements of 3D printing
2. The microstructure of the cross-section of TC4 titanium alloy is radial columnar crystal from the temperature center to the edge. The microstructure of the longitudinal section is a columnar crystal growing along the direction of the accumulation layer. The control of heat source energy can effectively control the microstructure of TC4 titanium alloy
3. The heat treatment is solid solution+aging and air cooling, which effectively improves the strength and plasticity of the deposited TC4 titanium alloy and makes its properties meet the requirements of TC4 titanium alloy 3D printing.
