Granular Titanium Powder

Granular Titanium Powder by BYC Ti is a coarser, mechanically refined form of titanium powder designed for industrial applications where flowability, bulk handling, and structural performance are more critical than micro-level precision. With particle sizes typically ranging from 250 to 1000+ microns, this powder excels in processes such as cold spray deposition, sintered titanium filter production, and composite reinforcement. Engineered from high-purity CP titanium grades, it offers outstanding corrosion resistance, high temperature stability, and reliable consistency across batches. Whether you're building components for chemical processing, energy systems, or advanced material composites, BYC Ti's granular powder delivers industrial-scale performance with metallurgical integrity.

Key Characteristics

Particle Size: Customizable from 250 μm to 1,000+ μm
Morphology: Irregular / Nodular / Angular (mechanically produced)
Purity: ≥99.5% Ti for standard CP grades
Grades Available: CP Titanium Grades 1–4, Ti-6Al-4V optional
Tap Density: Higher than atomized powders, ~3.0–3.4 g/cm³
Flowability: Excellent for hopper-fed systems, batch processing

Note: This is not a fine powder — this material is made for robust industrial processes, not for PBF or SLM systems.

What Sets It Apart?

High-Temperature Tolerance: Stable morphology during thermal cycling
Excellent Flow in Gravity-Fed Systems: Reduces clogging and bridging
Lower Dust Risk: Safer handling vs fine powders
High Packing Efficiency: Ideal for high-density sintering or compaction
More Economical: Lower cost per kg vs AM-grade spherical powder

Where It Works

Cold Spray Applications

Ideal for structural coatings where powder adhesion and impact behavior matter more than microresolution.

Sintered Titanium Blocks & Porous Media

Used in producing filters, diffusers, and permeable elements for chemical, petrochemical, and hydrogen applications.

Titanium-Reinforced Composites

Mixed into ceramic or metal matrices to boost corrosion and thermal resistance.

Furnace and Thermal Environments

Granular morphology resists sintering in storage, ideal for thermal reactors or catalyst supports.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Is this powder suitable for 3D printing?
A: No. Granular titanium is not suitable for powder bed fusion or laser AM systems due to its large particle size and irregular morphology.

Q: What's the difference between granular and coarse powder?
A: Granular powder is typically larger and rougher in shape, optimized for bulk flow and structural use, whereas coarse powder is more refined and often used in cold spray and PM.

Q: Is it possible to blend granular titanium with ceramics or polymers?
A: Absolutely. Many clients use our granular Ti in composites for electrical insulation, anti-corrosion coatings, and high-temp components.
