Titanium is a highly sought-after metal for aerospace, transportation, military and medical applications because it has the best ratio of strength to weight among all known materials. It can be transformed into a variety of usable forms using powder metallurgy, including metal injection molding, hot isostatic pressing, direct powder rolling and laser-engineered net shaping.
To make titanium powder, titanium ore is mined, chlorinated and then reacted with magnesium in the Kroll process to produce titanium sponge with a range of particle sizes. This is then granulated by the plasma rotating electrode process and further processed by cold compaction and vacuum annealing to produce pre-alloyed titanium powder.
These titanium powders can be used in a wide variety of applications, from manufacturing aerospace parts to creating porous coatings for hip prostheses that accelerate bone growth and speed up the healing process. They can also be used in consumer goods, medical implants and high-performance cars because they are biocompatible, have superior tensile strength and corrosion resistance, and require less maintenance than other metals.
Whether used for high-performance aircraft components or biocompatible dental implants, titanium must be stored and handled carefully. It is important to keep the powder in a sealed container and not allow it to come into contact with other metals because it can react. Moreover, it is essential to keep the powder dry so that it does not absorb moisture from the air and then spontaneously ignite. To avoid this, the powder should be kept in a cool dry environment with little or no humidity and the container should be resealed after each use.
