Ti-6Al-4V pancakes were manufactured by alpha-beta forging using single-melt (SM) plasma arc melt (PAM) billet stock at three oxygen levels, 0.16, 0.20 and 0.24 wt%, along with a standard double vacuum arc remelted (2XVAR) billet stock at 0.17 wt% oxygen for baseline comparison. Mechanical properties of forgings in the mill-, recrystallization- and beta-annealed conditions were then characterized by microstructure examination, tensile, smooth bar axial fatigue and fracture toughness testing in radial orientation. The effect of oxygen content on mechanical properties of the forgings was assessed. All SM PAM forgings exhibited slightly higher tensile and fatigue strength compared to those of 2XVAR. The fracture toughness values decreased with increasing oxygen content. Microstructures of all forgings were similar to those of conventional alpha-beta forgings. The data presented in this paper can be useful to designers in their efforts to introduce low-cost SM PAM Ti-6Al-4V (Ti-6-4) alloy forgings into various U.S. defense applications.

One of the challenges in PM Ti alloys is to control the impurities level. Oxygen affects the microstructure and the mechanical properties of titanium alloys. Ti-6Al-7Nb is a promising alloy to use in PM due to its outstanding biocompatibility and mechanical properties required for load bearing medical implants. In this work, the influence of the impurities content on the ductility, fatigue resistance and microstructure of Ti-6Al-7Nb alloy processed by metal injection moulding was examined. Tensile and fatigue specimens were manufactured using Ti-6Al-7Nb gas atomized powder. Depending on the thermal treatment time, various oxygen contents were introduced into the specimens. The resulting oxygen content was determined by melt extraction technique. Tensile tests and high cycle four-point bending fatigue tests at room temperature were performed. First studies about the effect of oxygen content on crack initiation and propagation were done by the observation of microstructures and fractured surfaces using light and electron microscopy (SEM).
