Powder metallurgy of titanium – past, present, and future
Why is this work in the frame?
A frame that forgets how it found something cannot be audited. These are the routes that admitted this work.
No Canadian affiliation. An affiliation-only frame — the usual design — would never have seen this work. It is one of the works that make the case for inverting the frame.
Machine scores (provisional)
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Abstract
Powder metallurgy (PM) of titanium is a potentially cost-effective alternative to conventional wrought titanium. This article examines both traditional and emerging technologies, including the production of powder, and the sintering, microstructure, and mechanical properties of PM Ti. The production methods of powder are classified into two categories: (1) powder that is produced as the product of extractive metallurgy processes, and (2) powder that is made from Ti sponge, ingot, mill products, or scrap. A new hydrogen-assisted magnesium reduction (HAMR) process is also discussed. The mechanical properties of Ti-6Al-4V produced using various PM processes are analyzed based on their dependence on unique microstructural features, oxygen content, porosity, and grain size. In particular, the fatigue properties of PM Ti-6Al-4V are examined as functions of microstructure. A hydrogen-enabled approach for microstructural engineering that can be used to produce PM Ti with wrought-like microstructure and properties is also presented.Abbreviations: AM: additive manufacturing; ARC: Albany Research Center; BE: blended elemental; BUS: broken-up structure; CCGA: close-coupled gas atomisation; CHIP: CIP-sinter-HIP; CIP: cold isostatic pressing; CP-Ti: commercially pure Ti; DRTS: direct reduction of Ti-slag; CSIR: Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (South Africa); CSIRO: Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization (Australia); EIGA: electrode induction gas atomisation; EMR: electronically mediated reduction; FFC: Fray, Farthing, and Chen; GA: gas atomisation; GIF: gaseous isostatic forging; GSD: granulation-sintering-deoxygenation; HAMR: hydrogen-assisted magnesium reduction; HDH: hydride–dehydride; HIP: hot isostatic pressing; HSPT: hydrogen sintering and phase transformation; MA: master alloy; MER: Materials & Electrochemical Research Corporation (US); MHR: metal hydride reduction; MIM: metal injection molding; OM: optical microscope; OS: Ono and Suzuki; PA: pre-alloyed; P/C: performance to cost ratio; PIF: pneumatic isostatic forging; PM: powder metallurgy; PREP: plasma rotating electrode process; PP: post-processing; PS: press and sinter; QIT: Quebec Iron & Titane, Inc.
