How to produce spherical titanium powder?

2023-12-06 16:19:26  Knowledge

Spherical titanium powder is a type of titanium powder with unique morphology and excellent properties. Due to its spherical shape, high specific surface area, and good fluidity, it has broad application prospects in many fields.


The production process of spherical titanium powder

The production process of spherical titanium powder mainly includes atomization, chemical vapor deposition, mechanical grinding, and heat treatment methods. The atomization method is currently the most commonly used method for producing spherical titanium powder.


Atomization method

The atomization method is to form small particles of molten titanium alloy through the action of an atomizer and rapidly cool them to obtain spherical titanium powder. The advantages of this method are high production efficiency and low cost, but strict control of process parameters is required to ensure product quality.

Chemical vapor deposition method

The chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method involves:

  • Mixing titanium compound gas with hydrogen gas.

  • Reacting at high temperatures to generate titanium metal.

  • Depositing it onto a substrate to form spherical titanium powder.

The advantage of this method is that high-purity titanium powder can be obtained, but the production efficiency and cost are low.

Mechanical grinding method

The mechanical grinding method is to mix titanium blocks with grinding agents and grind them into spherical titanium powder in a ball mill. The advantages of this method are that it is a simple process and low cost, but it requires strict control of grinding time and the type of grinding agent used to ensure product quality.


Heat treatment method

The heat treatment method involves high-temperature treatment of titanium alloy blocks to induce phase transformation and form spherical titanium powder. The advantages of this method are simple process and low cost, but strict control of heating temperature and insulation time is required to ensure product quality.


Performance characteristics of spherical titanium powder

The shape is approximately spherical, with a high specific surface area and good fluidity, making it easy to carry out high-density stacking.


It has excellent mechanical properties and high-temperature stability and can perform well in high-temperature environments.


It has good chemical stability and corrosion resistance and can be used in corrosive environments.


Lower electrical resistivity and higher thermal conductivity can be used for manufacturing electronic devices and thermal management materials.
