Comparison of Processing Properties and Product Properties of Beta III Titanium Alloy Powder Metal (PM) and Ingot Metal (IM)
Abstract
United States Air Force interest in powder metallurgy stems largely from the potential benefits obtainable by use of metal powders, instead of ingot materials, for the production of metal products. These benefits include reduction in production costs and improved service performance of aerospace parts. Metal powder processing may furnish lower production costs by reduction of the number of processing operations to convert raw materials to finished parts and by minimization of scrap losses and machining. Titanium alloys have very attractive service properties (such as high strength, toughness and corrosion resistance) for aerospace applications. However, the high unit costs for finished titanium alloy parts limit the full utilization of these materials because of economic considerations.
