    Abstract: A method (100) for producing a particulate titanium alloy product can include preparing (110) a composite particulate oxide mixture with TiO2 powder and at least one alloying element powder. The composite particulate oxide mixture can be co-reduced (120) using a metallic reducing agent under a hydrogen atmosphere at a reduction temperature for a reduction time sufficient to produce a hydrogenated titanium alloy product. The hydrogenated titanium alloy product can then be heat treated (130) under a hydrogen atmosphere and a heat treating temperature to reduce pore size and specific surface area to form a heat treated hydrogenated titanium product. The heat treated hydrogenated titanium product can be deoxygenated (140) to reduce residual oxygen to less than 0.2 wt % to form a deoxygenated hydrogenated titanium product as a particulate. The deoxygenated hydrogenated titanium product can optionally be dehydrogenated (150) to form the titanium alloy product as a particulate.

    Abstract: A method of printing a three dimensional article (201) can include forming a bottom layer of the three dimensional article (201) by spraying a dry build material powder (210) onto a build platform (230) while heating the dry build material powder (210). The dry build material powder (210) can include metal or ceramic particles mixed with a polymeric binder having a softening point temperature. The dry build material powder (210) can be heated to a temperature above the softening point temperature such that the dry build material powder (210) adheres to the build platform (230). Subsequent layers can be formed by spraying dry build material powder (210) onto a lower layer while heating the dry build material powder (210) such that the dry build material powder (210) adheres to the lower layer.

    Abstract: A method (500) for producing a titanium product is disclosed. The method (500) can include obtaining TiO2-slag (501) and reducing impurities in the TiO2-slag (502) to form purified TiO2 (503). The method (500) can also include reducing the purified TiO2 using a metallic reducing agent (504) to form a hydrogenated titanium product comprising TiH2 (505). The hydrogenated titanium product can be dehydrogenated (506) to form a titanium product (508). The titanium product can also be optionally deoxygenated (507) to reduce oxygen content.

    Abstract: A process includes sintering hydrogenated titanium or titanium hydride (TiH2) and/or Ti metal in a dynamically controlled hydrogen atmosphere with hydrogen partial pressure greater than 0.01 atmosphere and at elevated temperature, to form a sintered titanium material; equilibrate the sintered material at an equilibration temperature below the sintering temperature and above the phase transformations including eutectoid decomposition temperature for an equilibration time sufficient for the hydrogen within the sample to reach equilibrium and homogenize the sintered titanium material; holding the sintered titanium material at a hold temperature below the temperature of sintering and a hold time sufficient for phase transformations including eutectoid decomposition of the sintered titanium material; and heating the sintered titanium material under vacuum, inert atmosphere, or a combination of both at a hold temperature which is less than that of the sintering temperature, to form titanium metal, or a titanium metal alloy with fine or ultrafine grain sizes; where the dynamically controlled hydrogen atmosphere varies as a function of time and temperature throughout the thermal cycle and includes hydrogen during the sintering and phase transformations including eutectoid decomposition steps.
