Production of spherical titanium alloy powders used in additive manufacturing from titanium scrap

Production of titanium tetrachloride (TiCl4) from titanium ores: A review

Titanium (Ti) is the ninth most abundant element on earth. The titanium mineral ores are widely distributed in different parts of the world. The two main ores of titanium include rutile (TiO2) and ilmenite (FeO.TiO2). It is aimed to provide the readers with an insight to the main processes currently employed to extract and recover titanium tetrachloride (TiCl4) from different titanium ores. Due...

Argon-shielded hot pressing of titanium alloy (Ti6Al4V) powders.

The paper presents the method of the argon - shielded hot pressing of titanium alloy (Ti6A14V) powder (used in medical industry). The powders produced in the GA (gas atomization) process and in the HDH (hydride - dehydride) process were used in the experiments. A pressing process was conducted at a temperature of 800-850 degrees C for different lengths of time. An unoxidized sintered material, ...

Numerical Modeling of the Additive Manufacturing (AM) Processes of Titanium Alloy

Characterization of Metal Powders Used for Additive Manufacturing

Additive manufacturing (AM) techniques can produce complex, high-value metal parts, with potential applications as critical parts, such as those found in aerospace components. The production of AM parts with consistent and predictable properties requires input materials (e.g., metal powders) with known and repeatable characteristics, which in turn requires standardized measurement methods for p...

Electrochemical Process for the Manufacturing of Titanium Alloy Matrix Composites

Titanium matrix composites (TMC) represent a perspective materials category with potential applications in many important fields like aerospace constructions, automotive industry, ship structures, sports and households objects, and others. A titanium matrix composite is constituted of a titanium or titanium alloy – matrix and reinforcements materials, which are usually ceramics in form of parti...
