Abstract
A method of producing a powder suitable for additive manufacturing and/or powder metallurgy applications from a precursor particulate material comprising: subjecting the precursor particulate material to at least one high shear milling process, thereby producing a powder product having a reduced average particle size and a selected particle morphology.
Claims15
A method of producing an additive manufacturing and/or powder metallurgy powder from a precursor particulate material comprising irregularly shaped Titanium or Titanium alloy particulate material, said method comprising:
- subjecting the precursor particulate material to at least one high shear milling process comprising milling the material with at least one high shear mixer which includes a rotor configured to contact and comminute the precursor particulate material and a stator which extends substantially around the rotor,
- thereby producing a Ti or Ti alloy powder product having a reduced average particle size and a particle morphology comprising a substantially uniform shaped particle selected from at least one of angular, platelet, spherical, rod or cylindrical shaped particles.
