Abstract: A method of making a gold-titanium alloy can include preparing a powder mixture of gold source powder and titanium source powder. The method can also include consolidating the powder mixture to form a consolidated body. The consolidated body can be at least partially sintered in vacuum or a reducing atmosphere to for a gold-titanium alloy sintered article.
Another example method of producing a gold-titanium alloy can include preparing a composite metal powder having composite granules including a gold source powder and a titanium source powder within the composite granules. The composite metal powder can be consolidated to form a consolidated body. The consolidated body can be at least partially sintered to form a sintered article. The method can also include deoxygenating at least one of the composite metal powder, the consolidated body, or the sintered article at a deoxygenation temperature under a hydrogen-containing atmosphere to reduce an oxygen content.
