The invention relates to a low-cost Ti-V-Zr metastable
beta titanium alloy for
laser additive manufacturing and a preparation method of the low-cost Ti-V-Zr metastable
beta titanium alloy, and belongs to the technical field of metastable
beta titanium alloy additive manufacturing. The alloy comprises the following components in percentage by weight: 18-25% of V, 1-5% of Zr and the balance of Ti and inevitable impurities, wherein the sum of the components is 100%. A corresponding
metal cylindrical bar is prepared according to the
mass ratio of Ti, V and Zr elements; and under the
argon atmosphere, all the
metal cylindrical bars are placed at the
plasma heating end, high-speed rotation is conducted, the cylindrical end faces are melted into liquid, the liquid is crushed and refined under the
centrifugal force effect, cooling, solidification and spheroidizing are conducted in a lower
powder collecting chamber, and the metastable
beta titanium alloy powder for the
laser additive is obtained. Metastable
beta titanium alloy powder for
laser additive manufacturing is placed in a powder feeder to be subjected to one-way deposition, and a component is formed through set laser parameters; and carrying out
solid solution and water
quenching on the component to obtain the laser additive Ti-V-Zr metastable
beta titanium alloy. The Ti-V-Zr metastable beta
titanium alloy prepared through the method is highly matched in strength and
plasticity.
