Compaction of Commercially Pure Titanium Powder by Friction Powder Compaction Process

A new friction powder compaction (FPC) process is introduced for compacting commercially pure titanium powder. The FPC process is very simple and energy-efficient since it requires only a rotating tool plunged into an aluminum plate with a hole filled with titanium powder, and no external heat source is necessary. The sintering of the powder is mainly achieved by the friction heat and pressing ...

Neural Observer for the Hot Isostatic Pressing

Hot Isostatic Pressing (HIP'ing) is one of several processes used for consolidating porous materials (such as metal powders) to high density. The equations describing the HIP'ing system dynamics are immensely complicated and highly nonlinear, thus complicating any controller design for the system. Further complications arise due to the fact that one of the system's states, grain size, cannot be...

Sensing a N D Modeling of the Hot Isostatic Pressing of Copper Pressing

-A detailed experimental evaluation of mathematical models for densification during hot isostatic pressing (HIP) has been conducted using high purity copper powder as a model system. Using a new eddy current sensor, the density of cylindrical compacts has been measured/n situ and compared with model predictions for the HIP process. Pressure shielding by the can has been found to influence the d...

Effects of Temperature and Pressure of Hot Isostatic Pressing on the Grain Structure of Powder Metallurgy Superalloy

The microstructure with homogeneously distributed grains and less prior particle boundary (PPB) precipitates is always desired for powder metallurgy superalloys after hot isostatic pressing (HIPping). In this work, we studied the effects of HIPping parameters, temperature and pressure on the grain structure in PM superalloy FGH96, by means of scanning electron microscope (SEM), electron backsca...
