TZM alloy Deoxidation Mechanism Analysis during Vacuum Sintering

The experiment found that TZM alloy during powder metallurgy sintering process mainly has two kinds of deoxidation mechanisms: the first one, metal oxide of carbon reduction system to form metal carbides and CO; the second one, MoO2 happening disproportionation reaction at vacuum high temperature to form metal Mo and MoO3 gas, where the MoO3 gas will be discharged by vacuum system.
Firstly, analysis the influence of carbon content on TZM alloy deoxidation during vacuum sintering. Experiment arrangement as follows: adding 0.5% TiHx and 0.09% ZrHx into molybdenum powder, and then dividing the sample into three parts, in the sample were added 0.04%, 0.07%, 0.10% different proportions of carbon, and finally made TZM alloy rods. Tested oxygen content and the carbon content of TZM alloy bar found C element content and TZM alloy deoxidation effect is proportional to, but excess carbon can cause alloy component failure.
In addition, the oxygenium of molybdenum mixed powder mainly decisions by oxygen content of molybdenum powder. Molybdenum powder after the reduction reaction, the mainly existing way of oxygen is molybdenum oxide, which the most stable is MoO3 and MoO2, and MoO3 in a vacuum and high temperature will volatilize into a gas, so at high temperature molybdenum oxide mainly exists by MoO2 form. The experiment found that in the case of high temperatures and the absence of air, MoO2 happen disproportionation reaction to produce metal Mo and gaseous MoO3, and gaseous MoO3 will be discharged by vacuum system.
TZM alloy
TZM alloy deoxygenation process mainly achieved by carbon reaction and disproportionation reaction of MoO2 which occurs in high-temperature vacuum sintering process. The reaction temperature and air pressure of product in vacuum furnace will have great impact on the quality of these two reactions. Reducing the partial pressure of product and improving vacuum degree can reduce the deoxygenation reaction temperature of the beginning which is good for reducing oxygen content of TZM alloy.
