| Abstract: | Stoichiometric TiH2 powder, which is stable in air, was used as a starting material in the sintering of titanium metal. Powder compacts of stoichiometric TiH2 , finely ground in air, were fired in vacuum to remove the hydrogen, and then sintered. Using this method the Ti particles did not experience surface oxidation, which would otherwise usually occur, and the powder showed good sinterability, giving a sintered density above 98% of theoretical at the relatively low temperature of 1000°C |
