Novel titanium-based sulfur-containing BMG for PBF-LB/M

Novel titanium-based sulfur-containing BMG for PBF-LB/M

Description & AMAZEMET association

This study explores additive manufacturing for a new glass-forming titanium-based sulfur-containing alloy, combining biocompatibility, high corrosion resistance, and strength for medical applications. Using AMAZEMET’s rePowder ultrasonic atomizer, spherical and flowable powders with a crystalline microstructure were produced, suitable for powder bed fusion processing. TEM and XRD analyses revealed amorphous microstructures in laser-treated surfaces, while SEM and EDX highlighted correlations between crystalline phase formation and melt pool dynamics, enabling the fabrication of dense bulk samples with tailored properties.
