Application prospect analysis of titanium alloy additive manufacturing technology

3D printing additive manufacturing technology is mainly through the computer to generate three-dimensional CAD model of parts, according to the size data of the model by laser cladding the material of the parts through the form of inkjet layer by layer to form three-dimensional parts technology. The additive manufacturing process is simple, the production cost is low, the application range is wide, and the structure and variety of the manufactured parts can be changed at any time according to the different three-dimensional drawings of the parts in the computer, which is especially suitable for the manufacturing of metal parts with complex product structure, high material activity and high purity requirements.

The raw materials used in 3D printing additive manufacturing technology are mainly metal and non-metal, and other materials are also added to the raw materials for sintering, curing and hot melt cladding. According to the different additive manufacturing technology can be divided into: rapid prototyping technology and high performance metal component direct manufacturing technology. Compared with the traditional cutting processing, additive manufacturing technology can achieve a step of the metal material parts production process, the manufacturing process is based on the three-dimensional CAD drawing of the parts, so the dimensional accuracy of the actual requirements of the parts is close, the subsequent processing margin is small, the utilization rate of materials and production efficiency are greatly improved. In the use of additive manufacturing technology does not need large equipment, can save resources for the production enterprise, while the manufacturing time is short, with high flexibility can be changed at any time according to the structural changes of the product.

With the development of 3D printing additive manufacturing technology, titanium alloy additive manufacturing technology will be applied in all aspects of engineering materials. Titanium alloys produced by titanium alloy additive manufacturing technology can completely replace traditional titanium alloy materials. With the progress of science and technology, the application of titanium alloy materials will not only be limited to aerospace, national defense and medical health, titanium alloy additive manufacturing technology will continue to improve and develop. Titanium alloy additive manufacturing technology has just begun, and its development still needs to be continuously improved and perfected, requiring the joint efforts of scientific research institutions and institutions. The additive manufacturing technology of titanium alloy will develop in the direction of complex production, high precision, large scale and low cost. At the same time, additive manufacturing technology will also be applied in various fields, to achieve rapid production, promote the rapid development of China's manufacturing industry, and vigorously improve the speed of China's economic development.
