FAQs
1. What is the chemical composition of Spherical Grade 5 Titanium Alloy Powder (Ti-6Al-4V)?
The composition is Ti (balance), 5.5-6.75% Al, 3.5-4.6% V.
2. What are the key properties of Spherical Grade 5 Titanium Alloy Powder?
It offers high strength-to-weight ratio, excellent corrosion resistance, biocompatibility, good fatigue resistance, and thermal stability (up to 400°C). Its spherical shape ensures superior flowability and high packing density for 3D printing.
3. What is the difference between TC4 Titanium Powder and Grade 5 Titanium Alloy Powder?
TC4 (China standard) and Grade 5 (ASTM standard) both refer to Ti-6Al-4V, so they are essentially the same alloy. The naming difference comes from regional standards (China uses TC4, while the U.S./Europe uses Grade 5).
4. What are the advantages of Spherical Grade 5 Titanium Alloy Powder in 3D printing?
- Excellent flowability ensures smooth powder spreading in SLM/EBM processes.
- High sphericity reduces porosity, improving part density and mechanical strength.
- Controllable particle size (15-150μm) allows optimization for different 3D printing technologies.
- Recyclability minimizes material waste, reducing production costs.
