Preparation of Rapidly Solidified Ti-6-4 Alloy Powders from TiCl4, AlCl sub 3, VCl sub 4 and Na.

Abstract

Inexpensive chlorides of titanium (TiCl4), aluminum (AlCl3) and vanadium (Vcl4) were mixed and reacted with pure sodium in a Hurd Shaker. The resulting metal was analyzed for chemistry, homogeneity and morphology. Also investigated was the nature of the reaction. The resultant powder was irregularly shaped and had wide variations in chemistry. The reaction of chloride reduction also appears to be discontinuous. Keywords: Rapid Solidification, Prealloyed Titanium Powders, Ti-6Al-4X.
