Thermomechanical processing of blended elemental powder Ti-6Al-4V alloy

This research investigates the feasibility of producing Ti-6Al-4V products by creating low cost BE sintered preforms and then subjecting these preforms to thermomechanical processing (TMP) in an attempt to both improve the relative density and refine the microstructure. The powders used were direct reduction titanium powder and elemental aluminium and vanadium powders.
