Ti 6Al 4V Powder Description:
Ti 6Al 4V powder is a titanium alloy powder known for its superior strength-to-weight ratio and corrosion resistance. This powder is widely used in thermal spray coatings due to its ability to form durable and lightweight coatings with high surface roughness and porosity when using coarser powders. The alloy's corrosion resistance and biocompatibility make it particularly suitable for medical applications, including biomedical implants, where it can act as a bonding coating for hydroxyapatite coatings. In addition, Ti 6Al 4V powders have a strong affinity and reactivity with oxygen, hydrogen and nitrogen at high temperatures, so they need to be produced under controlled atmosphere conditions, such as low pressure or soft vacuum, to ensure optimal coating quality.
