The invention relates to the technical field of
titanium alloy preparation and
machining, and particularly discloses a method for preparing a
titanium alloy workpiece through near-net forming of
titanium hydride powder. The method comprises the steps that after
titanium hydride powder and intermediate
alloy powder are mixed, cold press molding is conducted under 200-800 MPa, and a pressed blank is obtained;
sintering the pressed blank and the mold for the first time at the temperature of 500-1200 DEG C, preserving heat for 10-30 minutes, and then cooling; and the pressed blank is taken out of the mold, secondary
sintering is carried out at the temperature of 1200-1400 DEG C, cooling is carried out after heat preservation is carried out for 2-4 hours, and a
titanium alloy workpiece is obtained. The method does not include the step of partially dehydrogenating the
titanium hydride powder before cold press molding. According to the method, the problem that the
titanium hydride pressed blank is easy to crack during demolding is fundamentally solved through the first
sintering with the mold by utilizing the volume shrinkage effect in the
dehydrogenation process, so that the product percent of pass is greatly improved, and meanwhile, the low
hydrogen content (llt of a workpiece is ensured; 0.015%),
high density (greater than or equal to 99%) and uniform components.
