Titanium alloy has attracted much attention for its high strength, low density, excellent corrosion resistance and biocompatibility, and is widely used in aerospace, medical devices and other fields.
Traditional manufacturing methods are often complicated and time-consuming to process titanium alloy parts, and the emergence of titanium alloy 3D printing technology provides an innovative solution to this problem.
2. operational principle
Titanium alloy 3D printing technology adopts the method of additive manufacturing to build 3 D objects by accumulating materials layer by layer. Specifically, the workflow includes:
Design model: Use computer-aided design (CAD) software to create a digital model of titanium alloy components.
Slice processing: slice the digital model into a thin layer to form a file that the 3D printer can print layer by layer.
Printing process: The 3D printer accurately melts and solidifies the titanium alloy powder or wire layer by layer according to the slice file, and gradually builds the final object.
Post-processing: After printing, the parts may need to go through post-processing steps such as removing support structures and heat treatment to obtain the final physical properties.
