Effect of Hot Isostatic Pressing Loading Route on Microstructure and Mechanical Properties of Powder Metallurgy Ti_2AlNb Alloys

摘要

In this work, hot isostatic pressing(HIPing) technique was used to densify the Ti_2AlNb pre-alloyed powder.The influence of HIPing loading route parameters(temperature and rates of heating and pressurizing)on microstructure and properties of PM Ti_2AlNb alloys was studied. The results showed that HIPing loading route parameters affected the densification process and mechanical properties(especially high temperature rupture lifetime) of PM Ti_2AlNb alloys in the present work. A finite element method(FEM) model for predicting the final densification was developed and was used to optimize the HIPing procedure.
