Powder injection molding of Ti–6Al–4V alloy

Design of water debinding and dissolution stages of metal injection moulded porous Ti foam production

“…The level of oxygen is also quite high for titanium foams generally, which would be expected to impact the mechanical properties, a result that is comparable to material from the literature. This problem can be addressed by improving the vacuum of the sintering environment and reducing the sintering temperature [33,34]. The low chlorine content indicates that KCl removal has been largely successful.…”

Interstitial elements in titanium powder metallurgy: sources and control

“…Other variables, such as sintering time and supports, have been analysed elsewhere. [20][21][22] The surface of titanium is repassivated during exposure to air after vacuum sintering, resulting in additional oxygen pick-up. This effect is minimal for dense components but can be important for porous components.…”

From titanium to magnesium: processing by advanced metal injection moulding

“…The availability of suitable powders and feedstock is not satisfactory to date. However, MIM of titanium and its alloys has been developed very successfully during the last decade [3][4][5][6][7][8] and excellent properties can be achieved, if processing is performed adequately. In addition, since spring 2011 ASTM standard F2885-11 for MIM processed Ti-6Al-4V intended for surgical implants is established, revealing the industrial interest in this technique.…”
