Gasatomiserat titanpulver
Innehållsförteckning
Gas atomized titanium powder is a high purity titanium powder produced through gas atomization, a process where molten titanium is hit with high pressure gas streams to produce fine titanium particles. This powder has unique properties that make it suitable for various applications across industries.

Prissättning
Gas atomized titanium powder is more expensive than other forms of titanium powder owing to the complex manufacturing process. Prices range from $20 per kg for larger size fractions to $100 per kg for the finest medical grade powders. Minimum order quantities are usually around 25-100 kg.
För- och nackdelar med Gasatomiserat titanpulver
Fördelar
- Spherical morphology gives excellent flowability
- High purity, alloyed grades available
- Kontrollerad partikelstorleksfördelning
- Used in advanced applications like additive manufacturing
Nackdelar
- More expensive than other titanium powder types
- Limited suppliers and production capacity globally
- Requires specialized storage and handling
Comparison to Other Titanium Powder Types
Versus Sponge Fine Titanium
- 10X higher cost
- Far superior powder properties and consistency
Versus Hydride-Dehydride Titanium
- 2X higher cost on average
- Better sphericity and flowability
- Used in more advanced applications
Versus Plasma Rotating Electrode Process Powder
- Cost is comparable
- Gas atomized has slightly better sphericity
- PREP allows larger particle sizes
Fördelning av partikelstorlek
Controlling particle size distribution is critical for gas atomized titanium powder. Some common size cuts include:
Partikelstorlek | Typiska tillämpningar |
---|---|
15-45 mikrometer | Additiv tillverkning |
45-105 mikrometer | Formsprutning av metall |
105-150 microns | Termiska sprutbeläggningar |
Laserdiffraktion eller siktning technique is used to characterize the particle size distribution. Common statistical parameters used are:
- D10, D50, D90 (Size below which 10%, 50%, 90% particles fall)
- Span (Measure of distribution width)
ISO 13320 standard specifies procedure for analyzing size distribution using laser diffraction.
Effect of Impurities
Impurities negatively impact powder properties and must be controlled through melting and atomization process.
- Oxygen – Increases hardness and brittleness if >0.4%
- Nitrogen – Causes porosity issues > 0.05%
- Hydrogen – Causes porosity and cracking issues
- Iron – Reduces ductility and fracture resistance
Vacuum induction melting and spray forming helps achieve low oxygen and iron levels.
Förvaring och hantering
Special precautions needed while storing and handling titanium powder:
- Moisturesensitive – store in sealed containers with desiccant bags
- Explosion risk – inert gas blanketing required
- Pyrophoric – burns at fine particle sizes
- Requires electrically conductive containers like stainless steel
Dedicated powder storage rooms, glove boxes, and fume hoods used for handling reactive titanium powder.

Vanliga frågor
What is gas atomization process?
Gas atomization uses high pressure inert gas jets to break up a stream of molten metal into fine droplets. These droplets rapidly solidify into spherical powder particles.
What is the benefit of spherical powder morphology?
Spherical particles have excellent flowability. This allows uniform packing and spreading needed for additive manufacturing and metal injection molding.
What are common alloys of gas atomized titanium powder?
Ti-6Al-4V, Ti-6Al-4V ELI and Ti-6Al-7Nb alloys are popular for additive manufacturing applications in aerospace and medical sectors.
What affects the cost of gas atomized titanium powder?
Purity, particle size range, shape, and sphericity determines cost. Finer medical grade powders are far more expensive than coarse industrial grade powders.
What determines suitability for specific application?
Factors like particle size range, morphology, apparent density, tap density, flow rate, impurity levels decide if the powder matches the requirements of AM, thermal spray or MIM process.
