A process for the manufacture of multi-compound titanium alloy powder is disclosed, wherein the process includes the following steps: (a) homogenization annealing of TiO2 at about 1200 deg. C to about 1400 Deg. C for about 2 to about 5 hours, in an inert environment of argon;(b) crushing and screening the results of (a) to the required particle size, wherein the required particle size is selected to give a desired particle size of alloy powder;(c) mixing the result of (b) with alloying metal oxide and/or elemental metal powders and CaH2 and heating at a temperature below the melting point of the alloy (between about 1200 Deg. C and about 1300 Deg. C) for about 2 to about 6 hours; and(d) recovering the alloy powder.
