The invention provides a method for preparing a low-cost TiAl
alloy through high-temperature hot forming of a
powder metallurgy blank, and relates to the technical field of
titanium-aluminum alloys used in the fields of
aerospace, vehicles and the like. The method comprises the following steps: mixing
titanium-aluminum pre-
alloy powder with a binder, and carrying out cold press forming; assembling the cold-pressed compact in a hot-pressed
sintering mold; vacuumizing the hot-pressing
sintering furnace, raising the temperature to a binder volatilization temperature under a non-pressure condition, and keeping the temperature for a certain time so as to gasify and remove the binder; raising the temperature to an alpha single-phase region of the
titanium-aluminum
alloy, and preserving heat for a certain time; reducing the temperature to a middle-upper temperature zone of an alpha + gamma double-phase zone; quickly pressurizing and keeping the temperature for a certain time so as to compact the
powder by
forging; and finally, stopping heating and pressurizing, cooling to
room temperature along with the furnace, and taking out the
forge piece. According to the method, the advantages of
powder metallurgy and
forging are combined, the
machining process is shortened, the production cost is reduced, the production efficiency is improved, and the prepared
forge piece is fine in structure, less in component segregation and excellent in
mechanical property.
