Abstract

Spark plasma sintering provides faster heating that can create fully, or near fully, dense samples without significant grain growth. In this study, pre-alloyed Ti-6Al-4 V powder compact samples produced through field assisted sintering in a spark plasma sintering machine are compared as a function of consolidation temperature. The effect of sintering temperature on the densification mechanism, microstructural evolution and mechanical properties of spark plasma sintered Ti-6Al-4 V alloy compacts was investigated in detail. The compact, sintered at 1100 °C, exhibited near net density, highest hardness and strength as compared to the other compacts processed at a temperature lower than 1100 °C.

Kurzfassung

Das Sparkplasma-Sintern ermöglicht eine schnellere Erwärmung, die voll oder nahezuvoll dichte Proben ohne signifikantes Kornwachstum ermöglicht. In der diesem Beitrag zugrundeliegenden Studie wurden kompaktierte Proben aus vorlegiertem Ti-6Al-4 V Pulver in einer Spark-Plasmasintermaschine hergestellt und als eine Funktion der Konsolidierungstemperatur miteinander verglichen. Die Auswirkung der Sintertemperatur auf den verdichtungsmechanismus, die mikrostrukturelle Entwicklung und die mechanischen Eigenschaften der Sparkplasma-gesinterten Proben aus der Ti-6Al-4 V Legierung wurden im Detail untersucht. Die Presskörper, die bei 1100 °C gesintert wurden, zeigten eine nahezu Netzdichte, die höchste Härte und Festigkeit gegenüber den anderen Proben, die bei Temperaturen unterhalb von 1100 °C hergestellt wurden.
