Evolution of Extremely Fast Electrical Discharge Sintering of Ti-Al Alloy
Description
In manufacturing processes using powder metallurgical methods, one
of the most important and most expensive parts is consolidation and subsequent
conventional sintering. Electrical discharge sintering (EDS) is a manufacturing
process that converts the two steps of consolidation and conventional sintering
into a single step. Additionally, the conventional process can take several hours.
In contrast, electric discharge sintering takes about a second. This reduction in
manufacturing time by electrical discharge can considerably reduce the costs of
powder metallurgical production. In this research project, compacts are manufactured
from the Ti-Al alloy through electrical discharge sintering. Throughout the
sintering time, the intensity of the electric current, the energy and force applied
by the equipment, the pressure suffered by the compact, the electrical resistance,
and overall porosity of the compact are evaluated. The porosity of the powder is
about 55.6% and the overall porosity of the compact is 16.1%. The result of the
overall porosity will be compared using an optical microscope (LM).
