The pre-alloyed powder metallurgy of titanium with boron and carbon additions
Tóm tắt
Discontinuously reinforced titanium alloys have been produced by gasatomizing Ti-6Al-4V (in weight percent) with additions of boron and/or carbon to make a pre-alloyed, in-situ reinforced titanium-alloy powder. The rapid cooling that takes place during atomization results in a fine and uniform dispersion of titanium carbide and titanium boride. The atomized powder can be consolidated using standard titanium powder consolidation methods such as hot isostatic pressing or extrusion and further processed to produce standard mill forms. Mechanical properties of the consolidated product show room-temperature tensile strengths up to 1,470 MPa with an elastic modulus of approximately 140 GPa.
