Titanium Aluminum Niobium Alloy Powder (Ti-6Al-7Nb) Description
Titanium Aluminum Niobium Alloy Powder (Ti-6Al-7Nb) is a ternary alloy consisting of titanium (Ti), aluminum (Al), and niobium (Nb) which was first created in 1977. It has similar properties to Ti-6Al-4V but later Ti-6Al-7Nb was proved to have better biocompatibility performance than Ti-6Al-4V. This alloy offers a unique combination of desirable properties of each element. Titanium features excellent strength-to-weight ratio, corrosion resistance, and biocompatibility. Aluminum contributes to enhanced mechanical properties and improved thermal stability. Niobium enhances the strength, ductility, and high-temperature performance of the alloy. The powder exhibits fine particle size and uniform distribution, which is suitable for various powder metallurgy and additive manufacturing processes.
