Titanium powders and alloys

Titanium alloys in Pometon: EIGA technology

Additive manufacturing technologies require various size distributions of powder, and not all powder atomization methods are suitable for titanium and reactive alloys.
Electrode Inert Gas Atomization (EIGA) is a crucible-free technology and for this reason is one of the famous methods of producing powder for additive manufacturing.

EIGA continuously feeds a rotating, high-purity, pre-alloyed bars into an induction coil to form a molten stream that free-falls directly into a high-velocity inert gas, producing highly spherical powder particles.

The powders produced by EIGA demonstrate superior chemistry, flowability and exhibited very round morphology and very high bulk density.

 

Pometon reinvents the rules on TiAl6V4 U-ELI

Thinking about the new frontiers of biomedical and aerospace in terms of performance and reuse of powders, Pometon has managed with its Argon atomization plants to obtain oxygen values below 700ppm, nitrogen below 50 ppm and hydrogen below 20 ppm.

From today the TiAl6V4 U-ELI – Ultra-Extra Low Interstitials – can be requested to Pometon Team to be tested in your additive technology machines.
