IMT Ti6Al4V spherical titanium powder 15–53 µm, 5 kg

IMT Ti6Al4V 15–53 mm: Titanium Powder for SLM/LPBF Printing

IMT Ti6Al4V (Grade 5) is a high-quality fine titanium alloy powder specifically designed for selective laser melting (SLM) systems and other additive technologies. Manufactured by plasma atomization (PA), this powder ensures exceptional purity, perfect sphericity, and stable mechanical properties of finished products.

With ISO 13485, FDA, and CE certification, this material is the gold standard for manufacturing medical implants, aerospace components, and high-load parts.

Key Advantages of The Powder

• High Sphericity (≥93%): ensures excellent powder flowability, which is critically important for uniform layer application in the build chamber.
• Low Hollow Ratio (≤0.3%): minimal internal porosity guarantees high density and fatigue strength of printed parts.
• Optimal Flowability: Hall flow rate of ≤30 s/50g ensures stable operation of the material feed system.
• Controlled Chemical Composition: minimal oxygen content (≤900 ppm) and nitrogen (≤0.02%) prevent alloy brittleness and improve weldability.

Applications

The titanium alloy Ti6Al4V is the most versatile material in additive manufacturing due to its combination of low weight and high specific strength:

• Medicine and Dentistry: manufacturing custom hip joints, cranial implants, dental bridges, and prosthetics due to biocompatibility.
• Aerospace Industry: production of brackets, engine parts, and fuselage elements to reduce weight while maintaining strength.
• Motorsport and Engineering: creation of high-load suspension components and exhaust systems.

Why Choose IMT Ti6Al4V?

Unlike many counterparts, IMT powder undergoes rigorous multi-stage quality control at every stage of atomization. The spherical shape of the particles minimizes friction between them, allowing for products with a density close to 100% without additional processing.

Packaging: airtight 5 kg container that protects the powder from oxidation and moisture during transportation and storage.
