Net shape process from pre-alloyed powder has become a viable approach to manufacture high-performance, complex shaped titanium alloy components. In this work densification of Ti-5Al-2.5Sn powder compacts in mild steel containers by means of hot isostatic pressing was studied. Due to the shielding effect of the container, inhomogeneous deformation of Ti-5Al-2.5Sn powder compacts was observed during the experiment and this was also predicted by a finite element analysis. The mechanical properties of powder metallurgy (PM) Ti-5Al-2.5Sn alloy of different density were compared. Near-net-shape forming processes of PM titanium alloy parts are studied. By using metal capsules and metal internal tooling, near-net-shaping of PM parts with complex shapes was demonstrated. The design of capsules and tooling was found very important because of the different shrinkage ratio of the differently shaped regions of the component.

Blended Elemental Powder Metallurgy (BE-PM) is a very attractive method for producing titanium alloys, which can be near-net shape formed with compositional freedom. However, a minimization of oxygen pick-up during processing into manufactured parts is a big challenge for powder metallurgy of titanium alloys. In this paper, different approaches for preparing titanium alloy parts by powder compact extrusion with 0.05-0.1wt.% of oxygen pick-up during manufacturing are discussed. The starting materials were a powder mixture of HDH titanium powder, other elemental powders and a master alloy powder. Different titanium alloys and composites, such as Ti-6Al-4V, Ti-4Al-4Sn-4Mo-0.5Si, Ti-5Al-5V-5Mo-3Cr, and Ti-5Al-5V-5Mo-3Cr-5vol%TiB, with different profiles such as round and rectangular bars, a wedge profile, wire and tubes have been successfully manufactured on a laboratory and pilot-plant scale. Furthermore, a possible route for scaling up the titanium processing capabilities in the University of Waikato has also been discussed.

This paper presents the novel microstructure design, called Harmonic Structure, which gives structural metallic materials outstanding mechanical properties through an innovative powder metallurgy process. Homogeneous and ultra-fine grain (UFG) structure enables the materials high strength. However, such a “Homo-“ and “UFG” microstructure does not, usually, satisfy the need to be both strong and ductile, due to the plastic instability in the early stage of the deformation. As opposed to such a “Homo-and UFG“ microstructure, “Harmonic Structure” has a heterogeneous microstructure consisting of bimodal grain size together with a controlled and specific topological distribution of fine and coarse grains. In other words, the harmonic structure is heterogeneous on micro-but homogeneous on macro-scales. In the present work, the harmonic structure design has been applied to pure metals and alloys via a powder metallurgy route consisting of controlled severe plastic deformation of the corresponding powders by mechanical milling or high pressure gas milling, and subsequent consolidation by SPS. At a macro-scale, the harmonic structure materials exhibited superior combination of strength and ductility as compared to their homogeneous microstructure counterparts. This behavior was essentially related to the ability of the harmonic structure to promote the uniform distribution of strain during plastic deformation, leading to improved mechanical properties by avoiding or delaying localized plastic instability.
