Titanium Alloy Micron Powders, CPTi, 50-150 µm, Spherical

Titanium Alloy Micron Powders (CPTi, 50-150 µm, Spherical) refer to a specific form of powdered titanium metal with particular characteristics. Here’s a detailed breakdown:

1. Titanium Alloy Micron Powders

• These are finely powdered forms of titanium or its alloys, engineered for use in various applications.
• “Micron powders” indicates the particle size is measured in micrometers (µm), making the powder suitable for high-precision applications.

2. CPTi

• Stands for Commercially Pure Titanium.
• It refers to titanium that has minimal alloying elements and is nearly pure.
• CPTi grades are commonly used due to their excellent corrosion resistance, biocompatibility, and high strength-to-weight ratio.

3. 50-150 µm

• This indicates the size range of the individual powder particles.
• The particles are between 50 micrometers (µm) and 150 micrometers in diameter.
• This size range is ideal for processes such as additive manufacturing (3D printing), powder metallurgy, and thermal spraying.

4. Spherical

• The particles are manufactured to have a spherical shape.
• Spherical particles are preferred in applications like additive manufacturing because they:
  • Improve flowability, allowing for smoother layer deposition.
  • Reduce voids in the finished product, ensuring better mechanical properties.

Applications:

• Aerospace: Lightweight components with high strength and corrosion resistance.
• Medical: Biocompatible implants and prosthetics.
• 3D Printing: Used in direct metal laser sintering (DMLS) and selective laser melting (SLM).
• Coatings: Thermal barrier or wear-resistant coatings.
