Development of Hot Isostatic Pressing Techniques for Producing High Quality Billet from Titanium Alloy Powder.

Abstract

The purpose of the program was to establish the relationships between consolidation and mechanical working conditions and the structure and mechanical properties of two types of Ti-6Al-6V-2Sn powders. The program required converting Ti-6Al-6V-2Sn ELI bar from a single heat to powder by two different techniques, the hydridedehydride process and the Rotating Electrode Process. The powders were to be fully characterized, and a portion consolidated by hot isostatic pressing. Billet portions representing each isostatic consolidation condition were to be examined to determine the relationships between powder type and size, consolidation practice, microstructure, and mechanical properties.
