| Abstract Scope |
There is an interest in the production of Ti alloy components that exhibit high strengths (e.g., greater than the yield strength of the Ti-6Al-4V alloy), reasonable ductility, and following processing, possess a uniform microstructure with an absence of microtextured regions and residual stresses. In response to this interest, hot isostatic pressing (HIP) of powders of a new metastable β Ti alloy, Ti-6Al-4V-3Fe, an alloy which exhibits considerably more strength than Ti64, has been undertaken. This presentation will present results of materials characterization of the product of the HIP process and also following heat-treatments designed to optimize mechanical properties. The results of EBSD measurements to identify if any microtextured regions are present in the microstructure will also be reported. |
