Chemical compositions of spherical titanium powders prepared by RF induction plasma
Spherical titanium powders were prepared by RF induction plasma technology. The particle size is essentially unchanged, while the particle size distribution is relatively narrow after spheroidization processing. X-ray diffraction (XRD) random testing of the spherical titanium powders shows no structure and phase changes. The content of O, H, N and C decreases, while the content of Ti increases slightly. It indicates that spheroidization with RF plasma can enhance powder purity.
