Abstract
The method of production of group IV powders for additive manufacturing is presented. Powders are produced in the hydrogenation-dehydrogenation process followed by plasma spheroidization of prepared polygonal powders. The dependence of composition of hydrides on amount of absorbed hydrogen is established for the group IV metals; it allows optimizing the technological parameters of processes for hydrogenation and grinding. It is shown that spherical powders of titanium, Ti–6Al–4V, and Zr–10% Ti of mass fractions of 40–70 μm and not less than 40 μm with calculated spheroidization level achieving 96% may be produced in Ar + 8 vol % H2 thermal plasma flow generated by an arc-jet plasma generator. The average roundness factor is 1.01.
