Characteristics of Titanium Carbide Fabricated by Fine Titanium Hydride Powder

Titanium Sheet Fabricated from Powder for Industrial Applications

In collaboration with Ametek and Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization (CSIRO), Oak Ridge National Laboratory has evaluated three different methods for converting titanium hydride-dehydride (HDH) powder into thin gauge titanium sheet from a roll-compacted preform. Methodologies include: sintering, followed by cold rolling and annealing; direct hot rolling of the rollcompa...

Microstructure and mechanical properties of titanium components fabricated by a new powder injection molding technique

A powder injection molding (PIM) binder system has been developed for reactive metals such as titanium that employs an aromatic compound as the primary component to facilitate easy binder removal and mitigate problems with carbon contamination. In the study presented here, we examined the densification behavior, microstructure, and mechanical properties of titanium specimens formed by this proc...

Cryogenic Milling of Titanium Powder

Ti Grade 2 was prepared by cryogenic attritor milling in liquid nitrogen and liquid argon. Two types of milling balls were used—stainless steel balls and heavy tungsten carbide balls. The effect of processing parameters on particle size and morphology, contamination of powder and its microhardness was investigated. Milling in liquid nitrogen was not feasible due to excessive contamination by ni...
