Six powder metallurgy titanium alloys based on commercial compositions were prepared using blended elemental titanium sponge and master alloy powders. The compositions were Ti-6Al-4V; Ti-6Al-4V + 0.5 Fe; Ti-6Al-4V + 0.5 Ni; Ti-6Al-6V-2Zr + 1Fe + 1Cu; Ti-6Al-6Zr-6Mo; and Ti-10V-2Fe-3Al. The powders were cold isostatically pressed at 400 MPa and sintered at 1238°C for 4 hours. The as-sintered samples had ~94 pct of the theoretical density, uniaxial yield strengths from 710 to 880 MPa and reductions in area from 0.5 to 8 pct. After a subsequent hot isostatic pressing cycle of 900°C and 100 MPa for 2 hr., the samples had ~99 pct of the theoretical density, yield strengths from 840 to 1035 MPa and reductions in area from 5 to 15 pct. These properties of fully-dense P/M material are competitive with those of cast alloys, and in some cases meet or exceed minimum specified properties of wrought ingot metallurgy processed material.
