| Abstract Scope |
The unique balance of properties demonstrated by titanium alloys has led to their use in a range of cutting-edge applications, such as in the biomedical, aerospace, chemical and defence industries. Now, there is growing interest in producing specialist titanium alloy components by powder processing routes. This allows near net-shape manufacturing, minimising material waste and machining costs, as well as high production efficiency due to the rapid timescales that can be achieved. However, the effect of different powder processing methods on the microstructural evolution and mechanical properties of titanium alloys must be understood. This study explores a range of powder processing techniques for consolidation of novel titanium alloy compositions, including vacuum sintering, hot isostatic pressing and spark plasma sintering. We present our findings, highlighting the advantages and disadvantages of each processing technique and summarising their effect on the microstructural and mechanical characteristics of the novel titanium alloys produced. |
