Development of Ti-Nb Alloy with Low Modulus of Elasticity for Aerospace Application

In this work, samples of Ti-Nb alloys were obtained by the blended elemental technique using hydride-dehydride (HDH) powders as raw material, followed by uniaxial and cold isostatic pressing with subsequent densification by sintering. It was observed the influence of the processing parameters and chemical composition of the elementary powders on the final microstructure. The samples showed high densification and homogenous microstructure.
