Abstract
An investigation is described in which the aim was to produce through the hydride-dehydride process a titanium alloy powder from Ti6Al4V all oy in a compact form (cast rods or electrode chips) and from oxidized Ti6Al4V REP powder The possibilities and efficiency of obtaining Ti6Al 4V powders for use in powder metallurgy applications were examined. Th e conditions of a reversible hydride-dehydride process were determined by X-ray and scanning electron microscope characterization of the pow ders. (C) Elsevier Science Inc., 1996
