Titanium powder metallurgy (P/M) offers the possibility of creating net shape or near net shape parts without the material loss and cost associated with having to machine intricate components from wrought billet. Powders can be produced by the blended elemental technique or by pre-alloying and then consolidated by metal injection moulding, hot isostatic pressing, direct powder rolling or laser engineered net shaping.
Titanium powder is used in aerospace, medical implants, 3D printing, powder metallurgy, and surface coatings due to its strength, low weight, and corrosion resistance.[1] It also plays a vital role in energy generation, sports equipment, and as a catalyst in chemical processes.[2]
