In today’s high-tech era, material science continues to make breakthroughs, driving innovation in all walks of life. As an advanced material, titanium alloy has been widely used in aerospace, medicine, sports and other fields. Among many titanium alloys, Ti6Al4V alloy powder has attracted much attention due to its excellent performance and wide range of application scenarios.
Definition and characteristics of Ti6Al4V alloy powder
Ti6Al4V alloy powder is composed of titanium, aluminum, vanadium and molybdenum. Its unique performance characteristics mainly include high strength, low density, good corrosion resistance and excellent processing performance. This alloy powder is more potent than traditional titanium alloys, maintaining good toughness and plasticity. In addition, Ti6Al4V alloy powder also has a lower density and is lighter than conventional titanium alloy, helping to reduce the weight of products.
Evaluating the quality of Ti6Al4V alloy powder mainly involves the following performance indicators:
- Particle size and particle size distribution: The particle size of alloy powder will affect its fluidity, sintering speed and product density. Generally, finer particle size improves the density and strength of sintered parts.
- Chemical composition: The content and purity of the main elements titanium, aluminum, vanadium and molybdenum directly determine the performance of the alloy. For example, the higher the aluminum content, the higher the strength; an increase in vanadium content will increase the alloy’s hardness, and adding molybdenum will help improve corrosion resistance.
- Particle shape: Alloy powder with irregular particle shape and rough surface has a high specific surface area, which is beneficial to improving the density and strength of sintered parts.
- Oxygen content: Too high an oxygen content will lead to increased brittleness of the alloy powder, while too low an oxygen content may lead to poor fluidity during sintering.
- Impurity content: The content of impurities such as iron and silicon will affect the physical and chemical properties of the alloy.
During the storage and use of Ti6Al4V alloy powder, the following environmental factors need to be paid attention to:
- Humidity: High humidity may cause the alloy powder to absorb moisture and become damp. Therefore, the storage environment must be kept dry, and dehumidification should be performed when necessary.
- Temperature: A high temperature may cause the alloy powder to oxidize, while too low a temperature may cause the alloy powder to become brittle. Therefore, maintain a suitable temperature range.
- Light: Light may cause oxidation of alloy powder, so direct sunlight should be avoided.
- Air: Gases such as oxygen and nitrogen in the air may cause oxidation of alloy powder, so contact with air should be minimized.
- Mechanical force: Avoid severe mechanical impact during use to avoid structural damage or stress to the alloy powder.
