Titanium is a very good metal material. It has high strength, low density, high hardness, high melting point, and corrosion resistance. Moreover, high-purity titanium has good plasticity. It is an ideal metal 3D printing material. It can be used for automobiles and aerospace, medical and other fields to print high-quality metal components. Therefore, there are more and more applications of titanium in the field of metal additive manufacturing, and the demand is increasing.
Naturally, this situation has attracted the attention of various manufacturers. There is news that Praxair Surface Technology, a subsidiary of Praxair, the world's leading industrial gas supplier, will begin to sell this gray matte material, which is known for its super durability. It is understood that Praxair is cooperating with major aerospace OEM manufacturers to provide them with a small amount of fine titanium powder that is in the research and development stage.
Soon, Praxair and its businesses all over the world will try their best to launch their own series of titanium metal powders. These titanium metal powders are aerosolized and can be used for 3D printing.
