Evaluation of A New Hydride-Dehydride (HDH) Titanium Powder

摘要

This paper discuses a novel processing procedure to produce titanium powder which ensures control of the interstitial content (oxygen and nitrogen) while minimizing contamination from other elements. The angular morphology of the powder in combination with the excellent chemistry control makes it ideal for use in demanding applications with compaction achieved by cold isostatic pressing, hot isostatic pressing or high strain rate(extrusion or dynamic) techniques. The powder can also be used for thermal spraying.
