The quality of metal additive parts is closely related to the characteristics of metal powder, including powder size, sphericity, fluidity, loose packing density, etc. The application demand of "high precision", "high quality" and "ultra-precision" in aerospace, aviation, medical and other fields also puts forward higher requirements on the quality of metal 3D printing powder.
Based on in-depth market observation and long-term metal additive manufacturing practice, platinite has developed a variety of titanium and titanium alloy powders TA1, TA15, TC4, TA18, TC21 and other titanium alloy powders according to the special needs of users who have been feedback for a long time.
The excellent comprehensive mechanical properties of TC4 can meet the requirements of powder performance of aeroengines. Its characteristics of high specific strength and light weight provide support for blade weight reduction. The powder has high thermal stability and oxidation resistance, which can prolong the blade life and inspection interval. At the same time, the internal parts of the hollow structure, the design space is large, can achieve more diverse modeling, to meet the use of a variety of scenes.
TC4 is a kind of titanium alloy widely used in aerospace and medical field. After platinite TC4 powder was formed by selective laser fusion (SLM) additive manufacturing equipment, the microstructure of the parts obtained was uniform and dense, with the characteristics of rapid solidification. The tensile strength, yield strength and elongation of the printout are about 6~7%, 6~10% and 55-60% higher than the forging indexes respectively.
