摘要:
A method for producing an integral titanium alloy article having at least o regions, each region having a distinct microstructure, which comprises the steps of(a) providing a suitable mold for the article;(b) introducing a first titanium alloy into a first portion of the mold;(c) introducing a second titanium alloy in powder form into a second portion of the mold; and(d) hot compacting the first and second alloys in the mold to produce a substantially fully dense article.The second alloy may be the hydrided version of the first alloy, or may have a different overall composition from the first alloy, or may be hydrided and have a different overall composition from the first alloy.

A method for improving the microstructure of cast titanium alloy articles which comprises the steps of hydrogenating the cast article at a temperature near or above the titanium-hydrogen eutectoid of 815.degree. C. (of about 780.degree. to 1020.degree. C.) to a hydrogen level of about 0.50 to 1.50 weight percent, cooling the thus-hydrogenated article to room temperature at a controlled rate, heating the thus-cooled, hydrogenated article to a temperature of about 650.degree. to 750.degree. C., applying a vacuum to dehydrogenate the article, and cooling the thus-dehydrogenated article at a controlled rate.

摘要:
A method of producing titanium alloy articles having a desired microstructure which comprises the steps of:(a) providing a prealloyed titanium alloy powder;(b) filling a suitable die or mold with the powder;(c) hot isostatic press (HIP) consolidating the powder in the filled mold at a pressure of 30 Ksi or greater and at a temperature of about 60 to 80 percent of the beta transus temperature of the alloy, in degrees C.In another embodiment of the invention, the prealloyed titanium aluminide alloy powder is hydrogenated to about 0.1 to 1.0 wt. % prior to die filling and consolidation. The compacted article is vacuum annealed to remove hydrogen from the article after removal of the die material.
