Ti-Ni, Ti-Nb & Ti-Zr Alloy Powders
Special titanium alloy systems expand the application range beyond conventional structural titanium.
Ti-Ni (NiTi) alloys are known for shape-memory and superelastic behavior. Ti-Nb alloys are used in advanced biomedical and functional-material research, while Ti-Zr systems can provide excellent corrosion resistance and biocompatibility depending on composition.
Key Advantages
High Sphericity and Stable Powder Feeding
Spherical or near-spherical morphology supports stable powder transport, consistent layer deposition and repeatable additive manufacturing performance.
Low Oxygen and Controlled Interstitial Content
Titanium is highly reactive with oxygen, nitrogen and hydrogen. Controlled powder production and handling help maintain chemistry suitable for demanding additive manufacturing applications.
High Strength-to-Weight Ratio
Titanium alloys provide excellent mechanical strength at substantially lower density than many steels and nickel-based superalloys.
Excellent Corrosion Resistance
Titanium’s stable passive oxide layer provides strong resistance to seawater and many chemical environments.
Excellent Additive Manufacturing Performance
Controlled particle size and morphology support LPBF, EB-PBF, DED and other metal additive manufacturing technologies.
Wide Particle-Size Availability
Fine powders are available for powder-bed processes, while medium and coarse fractions can be supplied for DED, laser cladding and other powder-fed processes.
Application-Specific Alloy Selection
Powder chemistry can be selected for aerospace strength, biomedical performance, elevated-temperature service, corrosion resistance or functional-material applications.
