It has long been a goal to produce Ti Alloy powder directly to eliminate the standard processing of melting sponge, alloying, producing a billet/ingot and then reducing to powder by one of several techniques. The batch Kroll process where reaction occurs at the reactor wall interface from TiCl4 vapor and molten magnesium, limits the potential to directly form alloys. Any batch processing has the limitation of alloy compositional control from batch to batch. A unique continuous processing approach permits the gaseous mixing of chloride precursors with metallothermic reduction that directly produces an alloy powder in a size that is useable for standard powder metallurgy. Discussion will include producing Ti-6Al-4V and other alloy powder.

A spherically-shaped, microcrystalline Ni-Ti alloy powder having fairly nonhomogeneous particle size distribution and chemical composition was consolidated with shock input energy of 316 kJ/kg. In the process of consolidation, shock energy is preferentially input at particle surfaces, resulting in melting of near-surface material and interparticle welding. The Ni-Ti powder particles were 2-60 μm in diameter (Fig. 1). About 30-40% of the powder particles were Ni-65wt% and balance were Ni-45wt%Ti (estimated by EMPA).Upon shock compaction, the two phase Ni-Ti powder particles were bonded together by the interparticle melt which rapidly solidified, usually to amorphous material. Fig. 2 is an optical micrograph (in plane of shock) of the consolidated Ni-Ti alloy powder, showing the particles with different etching contrast.

In this research, the effects of the compaction velocity on the sinterability of the Al–Fe–Cr–Ti powder metallurgy (PM) alloy by high velocity compaction were investigated. The Al–Fe–Cr–Ti alloy powder was compacted with different velocities by high velocity compaction and then sintered under a flow of high pure (99.999 wt%) nitrogen gas. Results indicated that both the sintered density and mechanical properties increased with increasing compaction velocity. By increasing the compaction velocity, the shrinkage of the sintered samples decreased. A maximum sintered density of 2.85 gcm−3 (relative density is 98%) was obtained when the compaction velocity was 9.4 ms−1. The radial and axial shrinkage were controlled to less than 1% at a compaction velocity of 9.4 ms−1. At a compaction velocity of 9.4 ms−1, sintered compacts with an ultimate tensile strength of 222 MPa and a yield strength of 160 MPa were achieved. The maximum elongation was observed to be 2.6%. The enhanced tensile properties of the Al–Fe–Cr–Ti alloy were mainly due to particle boundary strengthening.

Titanium (Ti) alloy foam was prepared by using potassium bromide (KBr) as space holder with percentage between 20 to 40 wt.%. In this work, the potential of KBr as a new space holder was determined. The Ti alloy powder and space holder were first manually mixed before being compacted using hydraulic hand press. The green compacts were then sintered at temperature of 1160°C, 1200°C and 1240°C in a tube furnace. The microstructure of the Ti alloy foams were observed by Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). It was revealed that the porosity content in the Ti foam was in the range of 16% to 31% and density in the range of 1.5 g/cm3 to 2.6 g/cm3. Moreover, the pore size of the titanium alloy foam is in the range of 187μm to 303μm. Although the sintering temperatures were found incapable of promoting overall densification to the Ti alloy foam, 1200°C was denoted to be the maximal temperature for promoting maximal porosity to the Ti alloy foam. Nonetheless, KBr was proven to be suitable as space holder for Ti foam preparation as referred to its stability and insolubility in the Ti alloy.
