At TCT Asia 2026, AVIMETAL announced a significant expansion of its titanium alloy materials portfolio with the launch of the MT-Ti1200 High-Strength High-Toughness β-Titanium Alloy Powder. Designed specifically for additive manufacturing, this β-phase titanium alloy delivers an exceptional combination of ultra-high strength and fracture toughness, making it ideal for structural components in consumer electronics, aerospace, marine, and other demanding industries.

β-titanium alloys are prized for their excellent hardenability and ability to achieve high strength while retaining ductility. MT-Ti1200 leverages these inherent advantages while being optimized for laser powder bed fusion (LPBF), offering a wide processing window and uniform microstructure that minimize defects and ensure consistent mechanical performance.

Key Advantages of MT-Ti1200 β-Titanium Alloy Powder

MT-Ti1200 is engineered to meet the rigorous demands of load-bearing applications where both strength and toughness are critical.

Ultra-High Strength

The alloy achieves a tensile strength of 1200 MPa+, meeting stringent requirements for high-load parts. This level of strength enables designers to replace heavier materials or create thinner, more lightweight structures without compromising structural integrity.

Exceptional Toughness

Strength alone is insufficient for components subjected to impact or cyclic loading. MT-Ti1200 delivers excellent fracture toughness, making it well-suited for load-bearing components that must withstand dynamic stresses without catastrophic failure.

Wide Process Window

One of the challenges in additive manufacturing of β-titanium alloys is their sensitivity to processing parameters. MT-Ti1200 offers good hardenability and a broad processing range, providing greater adaptability for different printer configurations and production environments. This translates to more consistent results and easier process development.

Uniform Microstructure

Through optimized printing parameters and tailored heat treatment, MT-Ti1200 achieves a uniform, fine-grained microstructure with minimal porosity and crack formation. This ensures reliable mechanical properties across the entire build volume and across production batches.

Typical Applications

The combination of high strength, toughness, and corrosion resistance makes MT-Ti1200 suitable for a diverse range of industries:

Consumer Electronics

• Phone frames – Lightweight, strong structural components for flagship smartphones

• Foldable phone hinges – Complex mechanisms requiring both strength and fatigue resistance

• Smartwatch cases – Durable, premium enclosures with intricate geometries

Aerospace

• Landing gear components – High-strength parts that must absorb significant loads

• Wing structures – Lightweight, load-optimized structural elements

• Engine mount connections – Components requiring high strength at moderate temperatures

Marine Industry

• High-load corrosion-resistant parts – Components exposed to saltwater environments that demand both strength and corrosion resistance

Compatible Printers

MT-Ti1200 has been validated across AVIMETAL’s full range of LPBF systems, ensuring seamless integration for a wide variety of production scales:

• MT170H

• MT280

• MT400M

• MT450

• MT450M

• MT650

• MT650H

• MT800H

• MT1300
