Problems solved by technology

[0002] Metal titanium and its alloys have the advantages of low density, high specific strength, good corrosion resistance, high heat resistance, non-magnetic, good welding performance, etc., and are widely used in aerospace, automotive, chemical, electric power, watches, medical and other fields. However, due to the long process route of the conventional melting and casting method, the low utilization rate of materials, the poor machining performance of titanium, and the high preparation cost, the application of titanium and titanium alloys is limited.
Powder metallurgy has become a suitable and feasible new process for the production of titanium and titanium alloys. The traditional powder metallurgy method uses titanium powder and alloy metal powder as raw materials, and the density of titanium and titanium alloys prepared by vacuum sintering or inert atmosphere protection is only It can reach about 95%, resulting in poor mechanical properties of the prepared titanium and titanium alloy products. Generally, subsequent hot isostatic pressing treatment is required to improve the sintered density of the material, thereby improving the material performance and increasing the production cost.

Abstract

The invention discloses a powder metallurgy method for preparing high-density titanium and titanium alloy products. The method comprises the following steps: preparing raw materials and mixing; performing pressure forming; performing atmosphere purifying; performing atmosphere-vacuum sintering. According to the method, titanium powder or titanium alloy mixed powder is adopted as the raw material and is subjected to pressure forming and atmosphere-vacuum sintering in sequence; the atmosphere sintering is adopted at the temperature of 400-600 DEG C, mixed gas of hydrogen and argon is introduced, and heat is preserved for 2-3 hours, thus generating TiHx (x is more than 0 and not more than 2); the vacuum sintering is adopted at the temperature of 600-1350 DEG C, and heat is preserved at 1200-1350 DEG C for 4-6 hours; by virtue of the diffusion analysis effect and the interstitial solid solution of hydrogen, the vacancy concentration and dislocation in titanium are increased, the surface activity of titanium is improved, and the sintering free energy effect is reduced, thus obtaining dense titanium and titanium alloy. The titanium / titanium alloy products prepared by adopting the method are high in density, the process route is short, a subsequent pressure processing process can be reduced or shortened, and the processing cost is lowered. The problems of high cost and low density of a conventional powder metallurgy method for preparing titanium and titanium alloy are solved.
