Summary: This research studied the challenges of fabricating titanium components through low-pressure powder injection moulding (LPIM). It was found that feedstock with high powder loading was not suitable for LPIM, and suitable parameters for solvent debinding were obtained by soaking the samples in n-hexane at 60 degrees C temperature. After sintering, the hardness and density of the sintered part were 490 HV and 4.11 g/cm³, respectively, with coarse alpha plates and alpha/beta colonies observed in the microstructure.

Summary: This study presents a promising alternative approach in powder injection molding (PIM) process by utilizing irregular-shaped and bimodal size powder in Ti6Al4VHA composite. The irregular-shaped Ti6Al4V-HA exhibits good rheological behavior and low viscosity, producing crack-free parts with high relative density of 95% after sintering, showing excellent osseointegration properties. The findings suggest the suitability of irregular-shaped Ti6Al4V-HA as a useful alternative material for biomedical applications, especially in bone implantation.

Summary: The increase in power density of power electronics depends on reducing the size of passive components. Traditional fabrication techniques for ferrites have limitations in producing cores with advanced geometrical features. Additive manufacturing or powder injection moulding are promising techniques that allow for the shaping of magnetics with unprecedented geometrical features. The study found that cores with a loading rate of 84.7 wt% had the lowest power losses, attributed to better magnetic phase purity.

Summary: This study successfully manufactured porous MAX phase Ti3SiC2 using Powder Injection Moulding (PIM) without the need of a space holder, aiming to broaden the application fields of MAX phase. In-depth characterization and control of all process stages were conducted to produce sustainable feedstocks with good properties for injection moulding. The selection of binder with reduced carbon footprint, use of critical solid loading and optimized debinding conditions, as well as adjusted sintering parameters contributed to the successful achievement of porous MAX phase samples.

Summary: Advanced Ti materials, including Ti, Ti alloys, and Ti-matrix composites, have significant advantages over conventional counterparts in terms of higher performance, lower cost, and wider applications. Titanium hydride (TiH2) powder has many advantages in producing advanced Ti materials, such as high relative density, novel microstructure, and competitive mechanical properties. This review summarizes the research progress on the dehydrogenation mechanism and resultant effect of TiH2 powder, the interrelation between processing technologies, microstructures, and mechanical properties of advanced Ti materials, and the influence of Kirkendall's pores on mechanical properties of Ti matrix composites.

Summary: To produce low-cost titanium efficiently, studies on reducing metallic Ti from titanium dioxide using metallothermic reduction in cold pressed pellets were conducted. The research focused on the reduction mechanism and the influence of reduction temperature, time, and mole ratio of TiO2 to CaCl2 on the process. Results showed that optimal conditions led to high reduction efficiency and strength in the pellets.

Summary: The aim of this study is to analyze the environmental impact of a multicomponent plastic product and its associated customized tools using life cycle assessment. The results show that the improved plastic cap has significantly lower environmental impacts compared to the previous version in various categories. The environmental impact of custom injection molding tools is influenced by machine capacity and the number of cores or products produced in a batch. Additionally, the improved 19-liter plastic cap also demonstrates lower environmental impact compared to a previous study on the 5-liter cap.

Summary: Commercial pure Ti alloys are often used in biomedical applications, but they need to be strengthened by adding alloying elements. Ti-Fe alloys modified with Zr were investigated in this study to produce high-strength, ductile, and biocompatible alloys. The addition of Zr solid solution increased lattice constants and refined grain size, leading to improved mechanical properties.

Summary: This study investigates the influence of oxygen on the tensile and high cycle fatigue properties of Ti-6Al-7Nb alloy processed by MIM. It is found that oxygen can be used as a strengthener, but excessive oxygen content leads to a significant decrease in ductility. The non-equilibrium microstructure plays a vital role in enhancing the strength and impairing the ductility, and it can be controlled by optimizing the cooling rate. Additionally, oxygen progressively reduces the high cycle fatigue properties of the alloy.
