AI Technical Summary
Current methods for producing titanium (Ti) or Ti alloy powders for additive manufacturing, such as hydride-de-hydride, plasma-rotating electrode, and gas atomization, are either time-consuming, contaminating, or excessively expensive, and fail to produce powders with the desired morphology and size for high flowability and low contamination.
A high shear milling process is used to transform irregularly shaped Ti or Ti alloy particulate materials into powders with optimized particle size distribution, morphology, and low contamination, achieving high flowability and purity, without the need for expensive plasma-based methods.
The process produces Ti or Ti alloy powders with improved flowability, high apparent density, and low contamination, specifically tailored for additive manufacturing and powder metallurgy applications, offering a cost-effective solution with high production yield and purity.
