| description | Titanium additive manufacturing using powder bed fusion technologies has seen notable growth since 2015, particularly in high-performance sectors such as aerospace, biomedical, and automotive industries. This study focuses on key areas like metallic powder manipulation, laser optimization, and process control, with selective laser melting emerging as the dominant technique over electron beam melting. Advancements in powder materials and laser systems have been crucial to improving the efficiency and quality of the process, particularly in enhancing microstructure and porosity control. The bibliometric analysis reveals significant global interest, driven mainly by collaborations among institutions in Germany, the United States, and China, where further international cooperation is required to scale titanium additive manufacturing. However, additional research is essential to address challenges in scalability, sustainability, and post-processing, thus expanding the applications of PBF technology across industries. In conclusion, titanium processing via powder bed fusion is poised to make substantial contributions to the future of manufacturing, provided current challenges are addressed through innovation and enhanced global collaboration. |
