Abstract  

The Ti-5Al-2.5Sn with extra-low interstitial (ELI) powder compacts were fabricated by hot isostatic pressing (HIPing) via a pre-alloyed approach. The effect of powder pre-treatment and heat treatment of powder compacts on the microstructure and mechanical properties of Ti-5Al-2.5Sn ELI alloy are investigated. Results show that the best balance of oxygen content and fraction of hollow powder can be obtained for the powder with full size range. However, the particle size segregation of the pre-alloyed powder, which should be avoided during the powder filling, will degrade the tensile properties of the alloy at cryogenic temperature due to the gathering of gas bubble. The degassing temperature of titanium alloy-powder should be below the limitation of their service temperature, i.e. 400oC in this study. When the powder compact is annealed at (α+β) phase region, the microstructure coarsens significantly and the thermal induced porosity will emerge due to the rapid growth and expansion of the residual micro-pores. The suggested annealing temperature of powder compact is below 800oC. Finite element modeling (FEM) was used to predict the shrinkage of the encapsulated powder and optimize the tooling design. Based on FEM results, impellers of the Ti-5Al-2.5Sn ELI powder alloy have been successfully fabricated through HIPing route. The mechanical properties of powder metallurgy impeller are close to those of wrought materials.
