ABSTRACT:
A powder metallurgy process for producing near-net shape, near-theoretical density structures of multiphase nickel, aluminum and/or titanium intermetallic alloys is provided by employing pressureless sintering techniques. The process consists of blending a brittle aluminide master alloy powder with ductile nickel powder, so as to achieve the desired composition. Then, after cold compaction of the powdered mixture, the compact is liquid phase sintered. The four step liquid phase sintering process is intended to ensure maximum degassing, eliminate surface nickel oxide, homogenize the alloy, and complete densification of the alloy by liquid phase sintering.
