Characteristics of Spherical Titanium Powder

Morphology and physical properties: The shape of spherical titanium powder is approximately spherical, with a smooth surface and high purity. Its particle size is small, and its particle size distribution is narrow, with good fluidity. In addition, its high density and high activity enable it to fill the mold during the manufacturing process better, improving the density and performance of the product.


Chemical properties: Spherical titanium powder has high corrosion resistance and good biocompatibility, making it widely applicable in the biomedical field. In addition, its excellent catalytic performance has potential application value in the chemical industry.


Preparation method of spherical titanium powder

The preparation methods of spherical titanium powder mainly include physical and chemical processes. The following are two main preparation methods:


Physical method: The physical method mainly includes mechanical ball milling and vapor deposition methods. The automated ball milling method involves mixing titanium powder with a grinding ball and gradually approaching the spherical shape of titanium powder through the friction effect of the ball mill. The principle of vapor deposition is to use physical processes to deposit titanium atoms onto a substrate to form spherical titanium powder.

Chemical method: The chemical method mainly includes hydrothermal synthesis and vapor deposition methods. The hydrothermal synthesis method is the reaction of titanium salts with other substances under high temperatures and pressure to generate spherical titanium powder. The chemical vapor deposition principle uses chemical reactions to deposit titanium atoms onto the substrate to form spherical titanium powder.


Application of Spherical Titanium Powder

Aerospace field: Spherical titanium powder is mainly used in the aerospace fields due to its excellent physical and chemical properties. For example, when manufacturing aircraft and rockets, spherical titanium powder can be added to composite materials to improve their strength and corrosion resistance. In addition, spherical titanium powder can also be used to manufacture components for aircraft engines.


Biomedical field: Spherical titanium powder has good biocompatibility and biological activity, making it widely used in the biomedical field. For example, it can be used to manufacture medical devices such as artificial joint and dental implant. In addition, spherical titanium powder can also be used in fields such as drug delivery and gene therapy.


Energy field: Spherical titanium powder has excellent catalytic performance, giving it potential application value in the energy field. For example, it can manufacture energy devices such as fuel and solar cells. In addition, spherical titanium powder can also be used as the positive electrode material for lithium battery.


Electronic field: Spherical titanium powder has good conductivity and thermal conductivity, which has potential application value in the electronic area. For example, electronic components such as heat sinks and circuit boards can be used to manufacture electronic devices. In addition, spherical titanium powder can also be used for manufacturing electromagnetic shielding materials and electronic packaging materials.
