Abstract: | The approaches to production of titanium powder injection molded parts are reviewed. Historically, oxygen levels have been
too high for structural use (particularly with the Ti-6Al-4V alloy). However, recent advances in starting powders, binders
and sintering facilities now allow oxygen levels in the Ti-6Al-4V alloy to be controlled to about 0.2 wt.% oxygen. This should
result in significant expansion of the titanium PIM market place into aerospace, automobiles, surgical instruments, dentistry,
communication devices (such as computers and cell phones), knives and guns.
