Do you know Used for 3D Printing Titanium Powder Titanium Rod？

 For a long time, Chenyuan company has been focusing on the quality control, smelting and forging process of titanium sponge from the source of bar material, and is committed to creating Used For 3D Printing Titanium Powder Titanium Rod. the oxygen content, bar material purity and other parameters of Chenyuan's Used For 3D Printing Titanium Powder Titanium Rod fully meet the prep milling standard.

 

1. The light of metal 3D printing technology

As a new manufacturing technology, 3D printing has shown a very broad application prospect, and has shown a strong development momentum in more fields such as equipment design and manufacturing, equipment support, aerospace, etc., which Chenyuan company, as a titanium enterprise, has been focusing on. Compared with the United States, China started relatively late in the field of 3D printing, but it showed explosive growth. From 2016 to 2020, the compound annual growth rate of 3D printing in China will exceed 38%. The advantage of 3D printing is obvious compared with traditional processing.

1) High precision. At present, the accuracy of 3D printing equipment can be controlled below 0.3mm. 2) The cycle is short. 3D printing does not need the mold making process, which greatly shortens the production time of the model. Generally, a model can be printed in a few hours or even dozens of minutes. 3) It can be personalized. 3D printing has no limit on the number of printed models, no matter one or more can be produced at the same cost. 4) The diversity of materials. A 3D printing system can often print different materials, and the diversity of this material can meet the needs of different fields. 5) The cost is relatively low. Although 3D printing system and 3D printing materials are more expensive now, if they are used to make personalized products, the production cost is relatively low.

 

As the most advanced and potential technology in the whole 3D printing system, metal parts 3D printing technology is an important development direction of advanced manufacturing technology. With the development of science and technology and the demand of popularization and application, the direct manufacturing of metal functional parts by rapid prototyping has become the main development direction of rapid prototyping.

 

At present, the rapid prototyping methods that can be used to directly manufacture metal functional parts mainly include: selective laser melting (SLM), electron beam selective melting (EBSM), laser engineered net shaping (lens), etc. It provides a powerful impetus for the progress of Aerospace Military Industry and medical science and technology.

 

2. The breakthrough of 3D printing powder material is the foundation of development

3D printing materials are the important material basis for the development of 3D printing technology. To some extent, the development of materials determines whether 3D printing can be more widely used. The metal powder used in 3D printing generally requires high purity, good sphericity, narrow particle size distribution and low oxygen content. At present, the main metal powder materials used in 3D printing are titanium alloy, cobalt chromium alloy, stainless steel and aluminum alloy.

 

Among them, the most value-added is 3D printing related to titanium. Titanium alloy has the advantages of high temperature resistance, high corrosion resistance, high strength, low density and biocompatibility. It has been widely used in aerospace, military industry, chemical industry, nuclear industry, sports equipment and medical equipment. Traditional forging and casting methods to produce large titanium alloy parts, due to the high cost of products, complex process, low material utilization and subsequent processing difficulties and other adverse factors, hinder its more extensive application, especially the traditional processing of complex components is difficult to achieve. The metal 3D printing technology can fundamentally solve these problems, so the "titanium" powder industry has become the focus of attention in recent years. The development of new titanium based alloys is the main direction of application research of titanium alloy SLM.

 

At present, in order to meet the requirements of additive manufacturing equipment and process, metal powder must have the characteristics of low oxygen and nitrogen content, good sphericity, narrow particle size distribution range and high bulk density. Plasma rotating electrode (PREP), plasma atomization (PA), gas atomization (GA) and plasma spheroidization (PS) are the main preparation methods of metal powders for additive manufacturing. Spherical or near spherical metal powders can be prepared by the four processes.

 

Chenyuan enabling additive manufacturing from the source

As a titanium enterprise with more than ten years of deep cultivation in the field of titanium and titanium alloy, the company started to focus at the early stage of the rapid development of metal 3D printing powder making, and is committed to becoming the hard core force of 3D printing powder making raw materials for China and even the world. In recent years, with the development of 3D printing and milling in China, domestic and foreign enterprises such as hart3d, AVIC Maite, Yuguang Feili, Nantong Jinyuan, Ningbo Zhongyuan, Zhongtian Shangcai, Xi'an Ouzhong, feierkang, gooken gold, carpenter, Osaka, Canada AP & C have emerged (some of them are partners of Chenyuan titanium (metal).

 

Especially in the bar plate required by prep, the plasma is used to heat the bar end, and the bar rotates at a high speed. The molten droplets are refined by centrifugal force, solidified in inert gas environment and spheroidized to form powder under the action of surface tension;

The oxygen content, bar purity and other parameters of Chenyuan Used For 3D Printing Titanium Powder Titanium Rod fully meet the standard of Prep powder making
