Funded Activity Summary

A novel fundamental approach to enable net shape manufacturing of low-cost high-performance titanium alloys . Oxygen is the bottleneck issue of titanium powder metallurgy, which radically deteriorates the ductility of titanium. This project aims to develop the essential fundamental knowledge and technical solutions to mitigate the detrimental effect of oxygen on the ductility of as-sintered titanium products and enable the net-shape fabrication of low-cost high-performance titanium alloys. This will be achieved by utilising the inexpensive and unique titanium hydride powder, rather than titanium metal powder, and by developing effective oxygen scavengers. The outcomes will form a robust basis for the creation of a viable titanium hydride powder metallurgy business.
