Abstract

The effects of different types of initial titanium powder and master alloy (MA) powder with different particle size distributions and pressing pressures on the mechanical properties of as-sintered samples were studied. Titanium hydride-based alloy could obtain better green density, sintered density, densification, element homogenization and mechanical properties. The alloy synthesized from single fine MA had better densification (low porosity) and element homogenization; therefore, it had better mechanical properties than the other alloys. Sintering performance was affected by specific surface and contact area and finer powder could obtain higher sintered density; hence, the combination of 0–38 μm titanium hydride powder and 0–26 μm single MA powder (60Al40V) obtained the highest sintered density (99.8%). Oxygen content seriously affected the mechanical properties of the as-sintered samples. The best combination of mechanical properties was obtained by selecting the appropriate powder combination and conditions. Optimal mechanical properties were obtained through the combination of 0–125 μm titanium hydride powder and 0–26 μm single MA under 600 MPa pressure. This alloy had a tensile strength of 999.9 MPa, a yield strength of 906.0 MPa, elongation of 17.83% and an area reduction of 29.4%.
