One-step production of high-strength titanium alloy by sintering titanium hydride powder from upgraded titania slag

高钛渣还原的氢化钛合金粉一步烧结制备高强钛合金

A direct production method of high-strength titanium alloy from upgraded titania slag(UGS)was developed.First,UGS was reduced into alloy powder with 1.3 wt.%oxygen using magnesium powder.Subsequently,the alloy powder was compacted at 600 MPa to produce a pellet.Lastly,the pellet was sintered to produce titanium alloy.The reduced powder was characterized,and the effect arising from the sintering temperature on the sintered density,compressive strength,microstructure,and hardness of the alloys was studied.The results showed that the density tended to increase with the temperature increasing from 900 to 1200℃,whereas the porosity decreased.A significant sintering densification was achieved at the temperature above 1100℃(98.65%at 1100℃ and 99.41%at 1200℃).At 1100℃,the hardness and compressive strength reached the maximal values of the alloy,HV 655.7 and 1563 MPa,respectively.

提出一种直接利用高钛渣制备高强钛合金的方法。先用镁粉还原高钛渣制备氧含量为1.3%(质量分数)的合金粉末,再将合金粉末在600 MPa压力下压制成小圆柱体,最后在氩气下烧结成钛合金产品。对还原粉末进行表征,研究烧结温度对烧结合金的烧后密度、抗压强度、显微组织和硬度的影响。结果表明,随着烧结温度由900℃升高至1200℃,钛合金的密度增加,孔隙率降低,实现较好的烧结致密化(1100℃为98.65%,1200℃为99.41%),在1100℃时硬度达到HV 655.7,压缩强度为1563 MPa。
