Titanium powder performance breakthroughs in aerospace

Titanium powder 3D printing demonstrates tremendous potential in the aerospace sector. Aerospace components demand stringent material strength, corrosion resistance, and lightweighting, making titanium powder an ideal choice due to its superior performance. Titanium powder 3D printing technology, used in the manufacture of components such as engine blades and fuel tanks, enables complex structural designs that are difficult to achieve with traditional methods, such as internal hollow flow channels. This reduces weight by 30% while improving component high-temperature resistance by over 15%.

With titanium powder purity increasing to 99.99% and sphericity exceeding 98%, the mechanical stability of printed components has been significantly improved. In the future, titanium powder gradient alloy design will enable customized performance across different regions of a component, allowing for a single component to achieve both high-temperature strength and low-temperature toughness, further meeting the extreme environmental demands of spacecraft. It is projected that by 2030, the titanium powder 3D printing market share in the aerospace sector will exceed 40%, driving aircraft performance to new heights.
