The influence of process route on mechanical property development in sintered commercially pure and blended elemental titanium
… the sintering process of Ti-6Al-4V using Al-V master alloy powder to achieve a cost efficient product with acceptable mechanical properties. Reference was also made to Ti-6Al-4V products produced by Clinning (University of Cape Town 2012) using elemental Al and V instead of the master alloy …

Parametric study on the compactibility of Ti-6Al-4V during direct powder rolling
The widespread use of titanium and its alloys in structural applications has been limited to few highend applications. The dominant reason for this being cost implications. These high costs arise from extracting titanium from its mineral form as well as that of the manufacturing processes to …

New approaches to casting hypereutectic Al-Si alloys to achieve simultaneous refinement of primary silicon and modification of eutectic silicon
Hypereutectic Al-Si alloys are of increasing interest for applications that require a combination of light weight and high wear resistance, such as pistons, liner-less engine blocks and pumps. The wear resistance of this class of alloys is due to the presence of hard primary Si particles formed …

Homogenisation of titanium - 6 aluminium - 4 vanadium (TI-6AL-4V) powder blends during sintering
Titanium alloys have received significant attention in recent years primarily within the aerospace sector due to their superior material properties, high strength to weight ratios and high resistance to corrosion. However, high processing costs associated with the alloys have hindered their usage …

Development of Niobium Boron grain retainer for aluminium silicon alloys
… addition is well established for wrought alloys, however in the case of casting alloys, the practice of adding grain refiners and the impact on castability is not well established. The addition of well known Al-5Ti-B grain refiner to casting alloys with silicon (Si) content above 3 wt.% is …
