We proposed the design methodol. for titanium-based alloys based on a combination of literature survey, simulation, and experimentWe have selected and investigated the properties of novel Ti-Fe-Zr alloys specifically designed for densification via powder metallurgy techniques.Samples were produced by die compaction of mixed elemental powders with subsequent densification by sintering at 1,275°C in vacuum.SEM and optical microscopy were used to examine the sintered microstructures to compliment hardness and tensile testing.The results show that d. and mech. properties increase with the iron and zirconium content.The best property combination was obtained with the addition of 5 weight% iron and 5 weight% zirconium when vacuum sintered at 1,275°C for 60 min.
