Spherical TC11 Titanium-Based Powder (Ti-6.5Al-3.5Mo-1.5Zr-0.3Si)
Introduction
Spherical TC11 Titanium-Based Powder is a high-performance α-β titanium alloy powder widely used in aerospace, high-temperature structural components, and advanced manufacturing technologies. TC11 alloy is well known for its excellent balance of high strength, thermal stability, fatigue resistance, and oxidation resistance at elevated temperatures. In spherical powder form, TC11 is particularly suited for additive manufacturing and powder metallurgy processes that demand high flowability and consistent packing density.
Detailed Description
Our Spherical TC11 Titanium-Based Powder is produced using advanced atomization techniques to achieve highly spherical particle morphology, clean surfaces, and narrow particle size distribution. The controlled chemical composition—Ti-6.5Al-3.5Mo-1.5Zr-0.3Si—provides superior mechanical strength while maintaining good toughness and creep resistance at temperatures typically up to 500–550 °C.
High sphericity and smooth particle surfaces ensure excellent flowability, uniform layer spreading, and stable feeding behavior in powder-based manufacturing systems. Strict control of oxygen, nitrogen, and hydrogen content is applied to preserve ductility and fatigue performance, which are critical for aerospace and load-bearing applications. The powder is suitable for laser-based and electron-beam-based processes, as well as conventional hot isostatic pressing and powder forging routes.
Applications
Spherical TC11 Titanium-Based Powder is widely used in demanding structural and high-temperature environments, including:
Aerospace engine and airframe components
Additive manufacturing (SLM, EBM) of titanium alloy parts
Powder metallurgy and near-net-shape forming
High-temperature fasteners and structural components
Fatigue-critical and load-bearing parts
R&D and qualification of advanced titanium alloy processes
