The HIP post-processing step is required for developing next generation of advanced powder metallurgy titanium alloys for orthopedic and dental applications. The influence of the hot isostatic pressing (HIP) post-processing step on structural and phase changes, porosity healing, and mechanical strength in a powder metallurgy Ti35Nb2Sn alloy was studied. Powders were pressed at room temperature at 750 MPa, and then sintered at 1350 °C in a vacuum for 3 h. The standard HIP process at 1200 °C and 150 MPa for 3 h was performed to study its effect on a Ti35Nb2Sn powder metallurgy alloy. The influence of the HIP process and cold rate on the density, microstructure, quantity of interstitial elements, mechanical strength, and Young’s modulus was investigated. HIP post-processing for 2 h at 1200 °C and 150 MPa led to greater porosity reduction and a marked retention of the β phase at room temperature. The slow cooling rate during the HIP process affected phase stability, with a large amount of α”-phase precipitate, which decreased the titanium alloy’s yield strength.

Powder metallurgy (PM) of nickel-based superalloys has been used for a wide range of products owing to their excellent special properties in processing and applications. Typical processes for high performance PM superalloys include hot isostatic pressing, hot extrusion and hot isothermal forging. Hot isostatic pressing is normally conducted at a high temperature, by using a low pressure for a long time in a closed vessel, resulting in high cost and low product efficiency. In this paper a novel forming process, i.e. direct powder forging for powder metallurgy of superalloys has been proposed. In this process, the encapsulated and vacuumed powder is heated up to the forming temperature and forged directly to the final shape, by using a high forming load for a very short time. Direct powder forging is a low-cost and energy-saving process compared to conventional PM processes, and in addition, press machines of conventional forging can be used for direct powder forming process. In direct powder forging it is important to control the relative density of the deformed part since the existence of voids could reduce the mechanical strength and fatigue life. In this paper, feasibility tests of direct powder forging are presented. Microstructure, relative density and hardness of the formed specimen were studied.
