Abstract
The preparation of titanium hydride powder and the method of adding aluminium and manganese are described. Sintered materials had poor ductility and this is attributed to the presence of an acicular structure. The tensile strength and ductility of sintered and forged alloys, in which the acicular structure is destroyed, were as good as, and in some cases superior to, those of the equivalent conventional cast and wrought alloy. Both the sintered and the sintered and forged material exhibited good creep properties at 200 and 400°C. Attempts to destroy the acicular structure of the sintered alloy by heat-treatment were unsuccessful.
