Abstract
Titanium has excellent mechanical properties, low density, high chemical stability, good heat transfer properties and a good corrosion resistance. In recent years, a new process technology is emerging by which titanium and titanium alloys can be made by sintering titanium hydride (TiH2) and its mixture with alloying elements. The feasibility of this manufacturing approach has been fully demonstrated from powder to sintering and from microstructure to mechanical properties. This paper describes a study concerning Powder Metallurgy (PM) technology processing of Ti by conventional PM and non-conventional PM method such as Spark Plasma Sintering (SPS) route. The influence of the technological parameters on the micro-hardness and SEM microstructures during bulk titanium materials processing has been studied. The STATISTICA program has been used to monitor the influence of the technological parameters on the micro-hardness of bulk titanium processed products. The tribological behaviour of the bulk titanium materials on the basis of the coefficient of friction and wear rate is presented, too.
