Titanium powder metallurgy (P/M) offers the possibility of creating net shape or near net shape parts without the material loss and cost associated with having to machine intricate components from wrought billet. Powders can be produced by the Blended Elemental Technique or by Pre-Alloying and then consolidated by Metal Injection Moulding, Hot Isostatically Pressing , Direct Powder Rolling or Laser Engineered Net Shaping.

Blended Elemental Technique (BE)
The traditional technique of titanium production is via the Kroll Process which involves chlorination of TiO2 ore in the presence of carbon and reacting the resulting TiCl4 with magnesium to produce titanium sponge. These processes take place at temperatures as high as 1040 . The sponge particle range in size from 45 to 180 ?m, with particles ~150 ?m termed ponge fines. These fines are irregularly shaped and porous with a sponge like morphology. The fines are then blended with alloy additions; cold compacted into a green compact at up to 415 MPa then vacuum sintered at 1260 to produce a 99.5% dense component. Hot Isostatically Pressing (HIP) can further increase the density of these parts and produce components more economically than cast or wrought parts, but the porosity present in the material degrades fatigue and fracture properties. The BE approach has been used to produce valves for the Toyota Altezza, golf club heads and softball bats. More recently, close to 100% dense Ti Grade 5 parts has been achieved using a hydrided powder along with 60:40 Al:V master alloy. The mechanical properties compare well with those exhibited by cast-and-wrought products. A cost estimate of less than $3.00 for a 0.320 gm automotive connection link has been made.
Pre-Alloyed Powder Production
Several techniques exist to produce pre-alloyed powder, such as Grade 5. In the Hydride-Dehydride process feedstock such as solid scrap, billet or machined turnings are processed to remove contaminants, hydrogenated to produce brittle material then ground under argon in a vibratory ball mill, typically at 400 for 4 hours at a pressure of 1psi for Ti Grade 5. The resulting particles are angular and measure between 50 and 300 ?m. Cold compaction after dehydrogenation of the powder, followed by either vacuum hot pressing (in this case the dehydrogenation process can be bypassed as hydrogen is removed under vacuum) or HIP and a final vacuum anneal, produces powders with hydrogen below 125 ppm. The possible presence of contaminants makes these powders unsuitable for use in critical aircraft applications.
In the Plasma Rotating Electrode Process (PREP), the feedstock, such as Ti Grade 5, is in the form of a rotating bar which is arced with gas plasma. The molten metal is centrifugally flung off the bar, cools down and is collected. The powders produced are spherical; between 100 and 300 ?m is size, with good packing and flow characteristics, making the powder ideal for high quality, near net shapes produced by HIP, such as aviation parts and porous coatings on hip prostheses.
In Gas Atomisation (TGA Process), titanium is vacuum induction skull melted in a water cooled copper crucible, the metal tapped and the molten metal stream atomized with a stream of high pressure inert gas. The tiny droplets are spherical and measure between 50 and 350 ?m. The TGA process has been used to produce a wide variety of materials such as CP titanium, conventional alpha-beta and beta alloys.
Powder Consolidation
Several metal consolidation techniques are used to produce the final product. Metal Injection Moulding (MIM) otherwise know as Powder Injection Moulding is a well-established and cost-effective method of fabricating small-to-moderate size metal components in large quantities. It is derived from the method plastic injection moulding, whereby mixing of a metal powder with a polymer binder forms the feedstock, which is then injected into a mould, after which the binder is removed via heat treatment under vacuum before final sintering. With titanium however, the binders used in MIM results in the introduction of carbon into the matrix due to insufficient binder removal prior to sintering and/or deleterious reactions between the decomposing binder, the debinding atmosphere, and the metal phase. This results in titanium parts with mechanical properties unsuited for critical aerospace applications, but suitable for parts where tensile and impact properties are less important. Recently, work has been carried out to reduce the binder to < 8% volume fraction, resulting in the complete removal of the binder from the moulded component during heat treatment. Work is still ongoing in this area.
Work is also progressing on the Direct Powder Rolling (DPR)...(and so on)
