Title: Microstructure property relationships in prealloyed Ti-6Al-4V for gas turbine applications

Journal Article · · SAMPE J.; (United States)
OSTI ID:5634003

Recent advances in prealloyed titanium powder metallurgy offer the potential for cost-effective processing and have made it possible to produce fully dense components with mechanical properties at least equivalent to those found in wrought titanium. The present work focuses on the microstructure/property relationships in PREP (plasma rotating electrode process) Ti-6Al-4V powder. The mechanism of microstructural formation during hot isostatic pressing (HIP) has been examined, and the possibility of microstructural modification has been demonstrated. Processing of powder has resulted in the ability to produce controlled microstructures. 16 references.
