- Selective Laser Melting (SLM): SLM is a powder bed fusion (PBF) technique that employs a high-power laser to selectively melt and fuse fine layers of Ti6Al4V powder. This method produces high-density, high-strength parts with complex geometries.
- Electron Beam Melting (EBM): EBM is another PBF technique that utilizes a focused electron beam to melt Ti6Al4V powder. It is known for its ability to produce parts with excellent surface quality and fine features.
- Directed Energy Deposition (DED): DED is an additive manufacturing process that deposits material through a nozzle while simultaneously melting it with a laser or electron beam. Ti6Al4V powder can be used in DED to create large-scale, near-net-shape components.
- Binder Jetting (BJ): BJ is a PBF technique that uses a liquid binder to selectively adhere Ti6Al4V powder particles together. The unbound powder is then removed, leaving a pre-formed part that is sintered to achieve full density.

TiNb Alloy Powder Titanium niobium (TiNb) alloy powder is an advanced material with excellent properties for use in biomedical, aerospace, automotive and other demanding applications. This article provides a comprehensive guide to TiNb alloy powder covering composition, properties, processing, applications, specifications, suppliers, costs, handling and more. Introduction to TiNb Alloy Powder TiNb alloy powder is composed of titanium and niobium metals. It offers a unique combination of high strength, low density, biocompatibility, corrosion resistance, fatigue and creep resistance at high temperatures. TiNb alloys are part of a broader class of titanium intermetallic materials that have superior physical, chemical and mechanical properties compared to pure titanium. The addition of niobium as an alloying element enhances certain properties and allows tailoring TiNb alloys for specific applications. Some key advantages of TiNb alloy powder include: High strength-to-weight ratio Ability to withstand extreme temperatures and stresses Resists wear, abrasion and corrosion in harsh environments Biocompatible and non-toxic for medical uses Can be processed into complex shapes using additive manufacturing Provides design flexibility for engineers TiNb alloys compete with nickel and cobalt-based superalloys in the aerospace industry. They also offer an alternative to stainless steels for biomedical implants and devices. TiNb alloys are enabling new applications and designs not possible with other materials. This article provides a technical reference covering the composition, properties, processing, applications, specifications, costs and other practical aspects of TiNb alloy powder. TiNb Alloy Powder Composition TiNb alloys contain primarily titanium and niobium as the key constituent elements. The niobium content typically ranges from 10% to 50% by weight, with the balance being titanium. The ratio of Ti to Nb can be adjusted to create different grades of TiNb alloys optimized for certain properties. Some common TiNb grades include: Ti-10Nb – 10% niobium, 90% titanium Ti-35Nb – 35% niobium, 65% titanium Ti-45Nb – 45% niobium, 55% titanium Ti-50Nb – 50% niobium, 50% titanium Additionally, small amounts of other elements like zirconium, tantalum, molybdenum, chromium may be added to further enhance properties.
