| Abstract Scope |
Evidence in literature and this work suggest that sintering of Ti and TiH2 powders can begin at temperatures approaching 400 °C. This low temperature sintering behavior presents unique challenges for thermal processing and hydrogen storage applications. Alternatively, this behavior could potentially facilitate opportunities in powder engineering and optimization for sintering applications. This work will discuss the potential for low temperature sintering of Ti and TiH2 powders in inert and oxidizing environments. Observed sintering behaviors will be explored from the perspectives of the underlying diffusion processes, surface area, particle size, and temperature.
