Juniper Publishers - Investigation of Temperature Effects on Microstructure of Pure Titanium
Trends in Technical & Scientific Research Abstract In this study, pure titanium powders were sintered by sealing in quartz tubes vacuumed from oxygen for 4 hours at 3 different temperatures by using powder metallurgy method. Temperature values selected for sintering of samples are 900oC, 1000oC and 1150oC respectively. SEM, EDX, XRD tests were performed for microstructure analysis of samples produced by powder metallurgy, and finally, the effects of sintering temperature on the microstructure of pure titanium were determined by measuring the Vickers hardness values of the samples. According to the results obtained, the sintering temperature has great effects on the microstructure of pure titanium. In addition, the Vickers value measured for 900 0C as 263 kgf/mm2, for 1000oC as 382 kgf/mm2 and finally 528 kgf/m m2 for 1150oC temperature sintering.
