Microstructure and Elemental Composition of Titanium Powders for Additive Machines Obtained by Electrodispersion of OT4 Alloy Metal Waste in Water

Based on experimental studies aimed at investigating the microstructure and elemental composition of titanium powders for additive machines, obtained by electrodissolution of ОТ4 alloy metal waste in water, it was shown that the rapid crystallization process of molten ОТ4 in a liquid working medium contributes to the spherical shape of the particles, containing the main elements Ti and Al. Spherical titanium powder materials obtained from the electroerosive dispersion of ОТ4 titanium alloy waste can be effectively used for additive machines.
