Titanium niobium alloy powder is composed of titanium and niobium. Niobium metal has a unique combination of high strength, low density, biocompatibility, corrosion resistance, fatigue resistance and high temperature creep resistance.
Titanium-niobium alloys are part of a wider range of titanium intermetallic materials that have superior physical, chemical and mechanical properties compared to pure titanium. Adding niobium as an alloyed element enhances certain properties, and titanium-niobium alloys can be customized for specific applications.
Some of the main advantages of titanium-niobium powder include
• High strength-to-weight ratio
• Able to withstand extreme temperatures and pressures
• Resistant to wear, wear and corrosion in harsh environments
• Good biocompatibility, non-toxic and can be used for medical purposes
• Can be machined into complex shapes using rapid prototyping technology
• Design flexibility for engineers
In the aerospace industry, titanium-niobium alloys can compete with nickel-based and cobalt-based superalloys. They also provide an alternative material to stainless steel for biomedical implants and devices. Titanium-niobium alloys are enabling new applications and designs that are not possible with other materials. The main components of titanium niobium alloy are titanium and niobium. By weight, the content of niobium is usually between 10% and 50%, and the rest is titanium.
The ratio of titanium and niobium can be adjusted to create different grades of titanium-niobium alloys and optimized for certain properties. Some common grades of titanium niobium alloys include
Ti-10Nb - 10% niobium, 90% titanium
Ti-35Nb-35% niobium, 65% titanium
Ti-45Nb - 45% niobium, 55% titanium
Ti-50Nb - 50% niobium, 50% titanium
