LDED-HDH-RF is a method that is used to produce a sintered compact of an alloy consisting of Ti-6%Al-7%Nb. The procedure involves the scavenging of oxygen by the compound LaB6 and the sintering of hdh titanium powder. The procedure, as well as certain conclusions, will be discussed in this article.
During the ball indentation process, X-ray Micro Tomography (XMT) was utilized to demonstrate the interaction of titanium powder compacts. In addition, an energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX) method was applied to determine the elemental makeup of the powders. This work was made possible thanks to the "863" High Technology and Development Project.
An induction coil with a circular structure imprinted the spherical titanium powders with its pattern. To generate a suitable magnetic field, several windings were utilized. After that, the powders were carved out and etched to reveal the grain structure.
The ability of the powder to produce a somewhat weak but detectable magnetic field is by far the most intriguing property it possesses. When combined with the spheroidization process, this technique results in the production of a powder that has a high density that is loosely packed.
Although the spherical shape of the powder is advantageous, the actual size of the particle is far less than its appearance would suggest. Because of this, it is not unusual for the particle to be reassembled with a bigger diameter than it originally had. Within the scope of this investigation, the powder particles with the smallest sizes measured less than 75 millimeters.
The rate at which oxygen diffuses through the material being sintered is what determines how much oxygen can be removed from the material during the isothermal sintering process. Scavenging oxygen during isothermal sintering was the primary method for achieving traditional levels of oxygen control. Oxygen, on the other hand, is drawn in during the manipulation of the powder as well as during the actual sintering process itself.
Lanthanum boride/lanthanum hexaboride (LaB6) is a unique oxygen scavenger that may be added to titanium alloys. It is one of the many alloying elements that are currently available. LaB6 is responsible for the formation of an interfacial LaBO3 layer by acting on the surface of the titanium powder. Before the surface titanium oxide coating dissolves into the underlying titanium metal, this layer must first consume oxygen.
LaB6 has been demonstrated to enhance the density of the powdered alloy as well as its flow, in addition to its ability to scavenge oxygen. The amount of LaB6 that must be present to produce this effect is far lower than one part in 10000.
In the past, Ti-6%Al-7%Nb powder was made by subjecting elemental powders to high temperatures during the pressing process. Nitrogen is notoriously difficult to remove with this approach. To lessen the amount of separation that occurs during the molding process, the interface between the powder and the binder needs to be enhanced.
In the metal powder injection molding business, the application of powder metallurgy for Ti-6%Al-7%Nb alloying is currently restricted to around 5% of the total market share. Despite this, technological advances in the process of producing powder have made various doors available to the titanium powder business.
The application of powder metallurgy in the processing of pure titanium powder feedstocks has been the subject of research presented in a few different studies. These studies center their attention on the use of AM methods in the processing of titanium powders to achieve particular characteristics. The majority of these publications concentrate on the various medicinal applications that can be achieved with titanium powders.
For instance, the objective of the research project titled "Ti-6Al-7Nb alloying by powder metallurgy" carried out by Miura and colleagues was to design a porous scaffold that is appropriate for use in medical settings. This powder was created by spherical gas atomization of Ti powder, which was then used in the study. Boron nitride is typically applied as a coating to stop the production of titanium carbides.
Sintering titanium powder for 3d printing can be accomplished by a variety of powder metallurgical techniques. Microwave heating, cold isostatic pressing, and die pressing are all types that fall into this category. This page provides an overview of the various consolidation procedures, in addition to describing the many processes that are involved.
Sintering is helped along by densification achieved through ball milling of TiH2 powder. Ball milling the TiH2 powder, as established by several studies, can cut down on sintering durations and temperatures while simultaneously increasing the rate of dehydrogenation. In this work, HDH-Ti and TiB2 powders were compared in terms of their morphology and microstructure, as well as the influence that the ball milling duration had on the densification of the powder. Milling the powder before it is sintered into composites not only helps the powder become denser, but also helps improve the mechanical properties of the sintered composites.
The HDH-Ti powder was used as the starting blend in the production of a variety of various powder blends, which were subsequently milled for a variety of different amounts of time. Depending on the length of time the powder blends were milled, the results showed that each of the microstructures of the powder blends was unique. It was able to mill the powders in a time range of two to six hours when using the finer particles.

Using HDH titanium powder metallurgy in additive manufacturing has been the subject of a number of investigations that have been carried out. The results of these experiments indicate that HDH Ti particles possess certain mechanical qualities that are advantageous to the process. These characteristics include a high strength, a low rate of work hardening, and a low elongation over length. However, the HDH Ti powder has a few limitations, including low flowability and contamination during the milling process. These shortcomings make the powder less desirable.
In addition to that, the surface of the titanium powder is quite smooth. Producing the powder in this manner results in lower production costs. However, it is essential to keep in mind that the surface treatment alone is not sufficient to generate a shape that is perfectly spherical. In order to get a spherical shape, an additional spheroidization step needs to be carried out.
In order to analyze the qualities of HDH Ti powder, a battery of chemical and morphological experiments was carried out. Analyses such as elemental analysis, solid state infrared absorption, laser diffraction, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and phase analysis were carried out. In addition to this, an X-ray fluorescence study was carried out in order to determine the amount of silicon present in the HDH Ti powder.
