In this paper, the feasibility of producing Ti-6Al-4V with a range of wrought-like microstructures and mechanical properties via a novel powder metallurgy (PM) process with simple heat treatments is investigated. The wrought-like PM Ti-6Al-4V is obtained by sintering blended elemental (BE) powder in a hydrogen atmosphere, followed by conventional Ti-6Al-4V heat treating profiles. This is achieved without resorting to energy-intensive thermomechanical processing (TMP) that is compulsory for producing high performance titanium alloys via wrought processing or traditional powder metallurgy.
