Abstract: |
Ti-13Nb-13Zr alloys were prepared by spark plasma sintering (SPS) technology. The effect of the different sintering temperatures on microstructure and relative density of the alloys were investigated. The results showed that the alloys were consisted of the spherical α-Ti phase, thin slab (pin)-like β-Ti phase and the unmelted Nb, Zr metal particles. The metal particles embedded in the matrix by the very small α-Ti phase and β-Ti phase. With the sintering temperatures increasing, the alloys appears in the transformation process form α-Ti to β-Ti phase, and the contents of β-Ti phase were gradually increased; at the same time, the relative density of the alloys was also gradually improving.
