Ti 6Al 4V Powder Description:
Ti 6Al 4V Powder is a titanium alloy powder known for its exceptional strength-to-weight ratio and corrosion resistance. This powder is widely used in thermal spray coatings due to its ability to form durable and lightweight coatings with high surface roughness and porosity when coarser powders are used. The alloy’s resistance to corrosives and its biological compatibility make it particularly suitable for medical applications, including biomedical implants where it can serve as a bond coat for hydroxylapatite coatings. Additionally, Ti 6Al 4V Powder’s strong affinity and reactivity with oxygen, hydrogen, and nitrogen at high temperatures necessitate production under controlled atmosphere conditions, such as low pressure or soft vacuum, to ensure optimal coating quality.
