This paper investigates the additive manufacturing route for a novel glass-forming titanium-based sulfur-containing alloy of the composition \({\text{Ti}}_{60} {\text{Zr}}_{15} {\text{Cu}}_{17} {\text{S}}_{8}\) . This system is a promising candidate for medical devices since the lack of toxic components is combined with a high corrosion resistance and strength. Preliminary experiments and simulations show a general processability of bulk material by powder bed fusion technologies. TEM and XRD reveal an amorphous microstructure of laser-treated surfaces. Ultrasonic atomization is used to fabricate a flowable powder feed stock with spherical morphology and crystalline microstructure, which is suitable for processing in powder bed fusion. Correlations between detected crystalline phase formations and melt pool dynamics are revealed by SEM and EDX. It is shown that bulk samples with a high relative density and partially crystalline microstructure can be manufactured.
