Densification model of titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-4V) are investigated during hot
isostatic pressing (Hip). Experimental data was obtained at various pressures
and temperatures during hot isostatic pressing (Hip). Experimental data are
compared with the finite element calculations by using the hybrid model and
Abouaf model, respectively. The results show that the finite element
calculation results by the hybrid model are in agreement with the
experimental data for densification behaviour of the titanium alloy powder
under Hip; however, the finite element calculation results by using the
Abouaf model are over the experimental data. In addition, in order to
obtaining relative density distributions of porous body, the statistical
relationships during Poisson?s ratio, Rockwell hardness and the relative
density of porous body were formulated, the results show that the statistical
relationship between Poisson?s ratio and the relative density of porous body
is essential to construct such a constitutive model; the statistical
relationship between Rockwell hardness and the relative density of porous
body is essential to obtain relative density distributions of porous body.
