Hydrogenation followed by simultaneous de-hydrogenation & sintering are twoinnovative aspects of our invented process that are the key in reducing the cycletime to <24 hours (i.e., 5-fold reduction) leading to ~50% energy savings and costreduction of ~20%.

CONCLUSIONSInnovative powder metallurgy processes for manufacturing the titaniumcomponents for critical applications from hydrogenated titanium powder thatincludes various room temperature consolidation techniques (die-pressing, directpowder rolling, and cold iso-static pressing) followed by sintering and hightemperature post processing (forging, rolling, extrusion, ring rolling weredeveloped.
The low cost ADMA patented blended elemental powder metallurgy processes(ADMATALTM) provide the best combination of mechanical properties that meet orexceed the properties obtained on the identical titanium alloys by conventionalingot metallurgy processes.
