Titanium powder offers a new corrosion-resistant solution for energy equipment

Titanium powder 3D printing provides a new corrosion-resistant solution for energy equipment. In oil drilling and nuclear power equipment, components must withstand high temperatures, high pressures, and corrosive media. Valves and pipe fittings printed with titanium powder offer corrosion resistance over five times greater than stainless steel, extending their service life to over 10 years.

For offshore wind turbines, titanium powder 3D printed blade connectors resist seawater corrosion and reduce maintenance costs. In the future, ceramic coating technology applied to titanium powder surfaces will further enhance high-temperature resistance, meeting the requirements of supercritical units. With the expansion of the new energy industry, the market size of titanium powder 3D printing in the energy sector is expected to exceed US$800 million by 2030, becoming a key growth area.
