Preparation of TiAl Intermetallic Alloy Precursor Using Slow Reaction Synthesis Process

Abstract:

Already, there are several processes to produce intermetalic alloy parts from powder , ex. metal injection molding (MIM) or additive manufacturing (AM). For these processes, pre-alloyed powder made by gas atomized powder is used because of their quality. As other way, intermetallic alloy can be produced combustion reaction process. On this process, ingredient metal powders are mixed and reacted by combustion. However, powders are fused by reaction heat, and they are difficult to keep the powder condition. There for, we are developed the process to produce intermetallic alloy precursor by slow combustion reaction. On this process, temperature of mixed powders increases slower than 0.2K/sec. while the combustion reaction, and powders are reacted without fusing. Using this process, TiAl presursor is synthesized. Relation of reacting condition and quality of the precursor is evaluated, and researched the practical usage of this precurser.
