Title: Microstructural evolution and mechanical properties of powder metallurgy Ti–6Al–4V alloy based on heat response
Abstract: In present work, powder metallurgy (PM) Ti–6Al–4V alloy was produced by hot isostatic pressing (HIPing) from gas atomized powder. Various HIPing conditions and heat treatments were used to investigate the heat response of PM Ti–6Al–4V alloy. The results show that the optimization of HIPing parameters is temperature from 920 to 940 °C, pressure over 120 MPa and holding for 3 h. The microstructure of powder compact changes significantly after different heat treatments, while there was no obvious difference in tensile properties. Temperature induced porosity (TIP) in powder compact occurred after annealing at 930 °C for 1 h plus aging. The TIP has no obvious effects on tensile, impact, and fracture toughness properties of powder compact, but the TIP has an adverse effect on fatigue property, especially at shorter fatigue lives. In order to eliminate the TIP in powder compact, several probable solutions were suggested for the application of titanium powder components.
