Production of a sintered alloy based on the TiAl intermetallic compound: Part 2. Investigation into forming and sintering processes

详细

A complex production technology of electrodes from the powder alloy based on titanium aluminide TiAl, which includes the stages of fabrication of the powder alloy by calcium hydride reduction, treatment of the powder in a ball hard alloy mill with the addition of Y₂O₃ as a structural modifier, and the hydrostatic formation and sintering of a billet, is proposed. Formation and sintering processes are investigated for experimental samples and the alloy microstructure is investigated at all stages of process flowchart. The electrode for the plasma centrifugal spraying of the granules is fabricated using this technology.
