method of producing a hochdichten sinter product made of titanium alloy

摘要

Sintered bodies having density approaching the theoretical value are produced in a method which enables the amount of fine metal particles used to be minimised. The method comprises compacting a mixture of base metal particles (e.g. of Fe or Ti) having a median particle size greater than 40 microns and a minor amount of alloy-forming particles having a median particle size not exceeding 20 microns, so as to form a sinterable body of the desired configuration, and sintering the body at a temperature below that at which any liquid phase forms in the body.
