Nonspherical high-purity titanium powders were prepared by molten salts electrolysis for 3D skeletal printing,its manufacture cost is less than 10% of spherical titanium powders.Nonspherical titanium powders by molten salts electrolysis own the characteristics of high purity and specific surface area that can easily form porous structure in 3D skeletal printing,and the high-purity ensures the health for human body.The microstructure of nonspherical high-purity titanium powders was analyzed by SEM. Because only one step of electrodeposited reaction happened in the process of titanium powders preparation,the formed titanium particles were very uniform.That is why the morphology of electrolysis titanium powders was not spherical,but it still had good flowability.The process of electrodeposition of titanium ions was analyzed by cyclic voltammetry curves,and then the deposition potential of titanium powders was confirmed.
