摘要:
A production method for a titanium alloy member includes preparing a titanium alloy material for sintering as a raw material of a sintered body; nitriding the titanium alloy material for sintering, thereby forming a nitrogen compound layer and/or a nitrogen solid solution layer in a surface layer of the titanium alloy material for sintering and yielding a nitrogen-containing titanium alloy material for sintering; mixing the titanium alloy material for sintering and the nitrogen-containing titanium alloy material for sintering, thereby yielding a titanium alloy material for sintering mixed with nitrogen-containing titanium alloy material; sintering the titanium alloy material for sintering mixed with nitrogen-containing titanium alloy material, thereby bonding the material each other and dispersing nitrogen contained in the nitrogen-containing titanium alloy material for sintering in a condition in which nitrogen is uniformly dispersed into an entire inner portion of the sintered body by solid solution.

摘要:
An improved sintered material and product. A nanometer size reinforcement powder is mixed with a micron size titanium or titanium alloy powder. After the reinforcement powder is generally uniformly dispersed, the powder mixture is compacted and sintered, causing the nano reinforcement to react with the titanium or titanium alloy, producing a composite material containing nano and micron size precipitates that are uniformly distributed throughout the material.

A titanium matrix composite laminate (42) includes alternating layers of a titanium matrix foil (12) and a fiber mat (14). The titanium matrix foil (12) is formed from a super alpha titanium alloy having a beta phase stabilizer equivalency of at least thirteen. The beta phase stabilizer is selected from the elements molybdenum, vanadium, niobium, tantalum, halfnium, tungsten or some combination thereof. The fiber mat (14) is formed of silicon carbide (SiC) and has a carbon coating. Once a layup (16) of the alternating layers is formed, it is placed in a mold (22). Heat and pressure are then applied in a step called consolidation (40). The result is a titanium matrix composite laminate (42).

Fiber-reinforced titanium alloy and intermetallic matrix composites having improved stability and tensile strength properties at elevated temperatures. The base reinforced fibers are pre-coated with a tailorable tri-layer coating, such as Ti--TiN--Ti. Preferably the TiN layer is graded so as to have metal-rich outer surfaces, such as titanium-rich TiN, providing excellent bonding affinity for the base titanium layer, bonded to the surface of the fibers, such as silicon carbide, and for the outer titanium layer, bonded to the titanium aluminum matrix, and a compound core, such as stoichiometric TiN, providing a stable interfacial barrier against chemical reactions, whereby the tensile strength and resistance to cracking of the composite is preserved even at elevated temperatures of 900.degree. C. or higher.

摘要:
An improved method of forming titanium alloy in sheet form is taught. The sheet is formed by plasma spraying larger particles of greater than 100 .mu.m diameter onto a receiving surface to form a sheet having a rough surface due to the larger particles. An RF powered gun is employed to form the deposit using the larger particles. The formed sheet is separated from the substrate and rolled to reduce the sheet thickness as well as to render the rough surface smoother and more even.
