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.
Spheroidizing mechanism of TC4 titanium alloy powder
In 3D printing, metal powder is the raw material of metal 3D printing. Its basic properties greatly impact the final molding quality of the product, and it is also the material basis and one of the key elements to achieve rapid prototyping. TC4 alloy powder prepared by the plasma rotating electrode atomization method has a very close spherical shape, smooth surface, and good fluidity. The mechanism of powder balling is mainly divided into three processes; in the first process, the molten alloy droplet is impacted by high-speed airflow, which makes the alloy droplet grow into a wavy liquid film, which is far away from the gas center at high speed. In the second process, the elongated alloy droplet is unstable due to the air pressure. Under the action of the liquid surface tension, it is blown and broken to form an elliptical droplet. In the third process, the elliptical droplet continues to break again under the action of the air pressure and the liquid surface tension and is divided into several small droplets; under the action of surface tension, the droplets tend to shrink into spherical shape during the falling process, and the cooling speed is accelerated, and the droplets immediately solidify into a spherical shape.
 
Application of TC4 titanium alloy powder
Biomedical: Since the 1980s, titanium alloy has been gradually used in dental repair, dental implants, denture support, etc. Till now, titanium alloy has been a research hotspot of biomedical implant materials, and its application in medical treatment has involved artificial joints, vascular support, orthopedic instruments, etc. TC4, a common biomedical titanium alloy, has been applied in clinical practice in China. The traditional titanium alloy processing method is casting, which is complicated in operation and poor in accuracy, High cost, and environmental pollution. At present, selective laser printing titanium and titanium alloys are widely used in the dental fields, such as the production of crown and bridge prostheses, dental implants, denture support, implant base, and artificial joint prostheses (such as hip, knee, ankle, shoulder, elbow, etc.), osteosynthesis products, bone trauma products, spine internal fixation systems, and other orthopedic fields.
 
Price of TC4 titanium alloy powder
TC4 titanium alloy powder particle size and purity will affect the product's price, and the purchase volume can also affect the cost of TC4 titanium alloy powder. A large amount of large amount will be lower. The TC4 titanium alloy powder price can be found on our company's official website.
