Formation of Intermetallic Structures by Spark Plasma Sintering of Titanium and Aluminum Powders

Article Preview

Abstract:

Sintered compacts fabricated by spark plasma sintering (SPS) at 1050 оС were investigated. Titanium and aluminum powders in a ratio of 25 % (at.) and 75 % (at.) respectively were chosen as starting materials. Powder mixture heating up to elevated temperatures led to a partial loss of an aluminum component and to the formation of a multiphase structure consisting of Al3Ti, Al2Ti, AlTi and AlTi3. The density of sintered powder mixtures was 3.7 g/cm3; an average microhardness value was about 470 HV.
