Near-net-shaping hot isostatic pressing (NNS-HIP) method was used for once-forming complex monolithic Ti6Al4V alloy bladed disks manufacturing. The complex monolithic bladed disks were formed successfully in a near-net-shape manner using the proposed HIP mold scheme in this study. The results showed that there were fine and homogeneous strip α+β phases and no obvious pores or cracks were detected. A "layered" phenomenon was observed in as-built part microstructure. The tensile strength value of specimens from the NNS-HIP bladed disks in the same furnace reached 900MPa, which was higher than the values of parts manufactured using casting and forging processes. The fracture morphology analysis showed that the sample had a ductile fracture. This study provides a reference to the NNS-HIP for the bladed disk parts manufacturing.

Ti-5Al-2.5Sn ELI alloy is a typical α titanium, which is widely used at cryogenic temperatures. Hot isostatic pressing (HIPing) is a common technology to fabricate powder metallurgy (P/M) titanium alloys and components. Porosity control is very crucial for P/M alloys during application, and porosity will deteriorate mechanical properties of P/M alloys. In this study, porosity caused by HIPing process has been investigated. Effects of porosity on metallurgy quality of P/M Ti-5Al-2.5Sn ELI alloy have been accessed. The results showed that when porosity levels was less than 0.6%, no significant difference was found comparing with full dense P/M Ti-5Al-2.5Sn ELI alloy. Near-net-shape forming processes of P/M titanium alloy parts ware studied. By using metal capsules and metal internal tooling, near-net-shaping of P/M parts with complex shapes was demonstrated.

Hip Process

The fabrication of near net shape powder metal (PM) components by hot isostatic pressing (HIP) has been an important manufacturing technology for steel and stainless steel alloys since about 1985. The manufacturing process involves inert gas atomization of powder, 3D CAD capsule design, sheet metal capsule fabrication and densification by HIP in very large pressure vessels. Since 1985, several thousand tonnes of parts have been produced. The major applications are found in the oil and gas industry especially in offshore applications, the industrial power generation industry, and traditional engineering industries. Typically, the components replace castings, forgings and fabricated parts and are produced in high alloy grades such as martensitic steels, austenitic stainless steels, duplex (ferritic/austenitic) stainless steels and nickel based superalloys. The application of PM/HIP near net shapes to pump barrels for medium to high pressure use has a number of advantages compared to the traditional forging and welding approach. First, the need for machining of the components is reduced to a minimum and welding during final assembly is reduced substantially. Mechanical properties of the PM/HIP parts are isotropic and equal to the best forged properties in the flow direction. This derives from the fine microstructure using powder powder and the uniform structure from the HIP process. Furthermore, when using the PM HIP process the parts are produced near net shape with supports, nozzles and flanges integrated. This significantly reduces manufacturing lead-time and gives greater design flexibility which improves cost for the final component. The PM HIP near net shape route has received approval from ASTM, NACE and API for specific steel, stainless steel and nickel base alloys. This paper reviews the manufacturing sequence for PM near net shapes and discusses the details of several successful applications. The application of the PM/HIP process to high pressure pump barrels is highlighted.

Due to the current trend in prices of raw material and their sources, near net shaping of mechanical components will become a key factor for the companies to get the desired competitiveness. Semisolid metal (SSM) forming is one of those near net shape forming techniques revealing a high potential to reduce material as well as energy consumption compared to conventional process technologies. Thus, the aim of this research work is to demonstrate the above by manufacturing a steel commercial automotive spindle by thixo-lateral forming from three different steel grades. The starting material, the microstructure and mechanical properties are analysed along the article. Material savings of 20% have been reported together with a substantial decrease of the forming forces. In addition, great mechanical properties have been achieved which brings the process closer to the desired final industrial application.
