Obtaining Spherical Powders of Grade 5 Alloy for Application in Selective Laser Melting Technology

Abstract:

In this paper, the process of obtaining a spherical powder of titanium alloy of the “Grade 5” brand using inductively coupled argon-helium plasma has been studied. The structure of titanium alloy was studied before and after the spheroidization process. The results of particle size and X-ray fluorescent analysis were also obtained. As a result of the analysis of the structure, it was concluded that the crystallite sizes and microstress values change. Keywords: additive technology, plasmachemical synthesis, spheroidization, titanium alloy, grade 5.
