A PROCESS FOR PRODUCING TITANIUM-MAGNESIUM ALLOY POWDERS AND COMPACTS
摘要
<p>The process 10 includes a mixing step 12 in which a titanium-containing powder 14 and a magnesium powder 16 are mixed to form a raw powder mixture 18. The raw powder mixture 18 is then subjected to a milling step 20 to convert the raw powder mixture 18 to a titanium-magnesium alloy powder 22. The titanium-containing powder 14 can be elemental titanium powder and/or titanium oxide powder. In the case where the titanium containing powder is titanium oxide, the magnesium powder 16 is provided in a stoichiometric excess of about 15% by weight. The magnesium content of the raw powder mixture 18 is between five and twenty five weight percent.</p>
