Abstrakt: In this present work Ti-13Nb-13Zr alloy was produced by PM using planetary ball mill with zirconium oxide grinding bowl and balls to reduce contamination. The effect of milling time upon microstructure and microhardness was studied. Powders have been produced by hydrogenation of Ti, Nb and Zr at 1MPa. Milling speed was 200 rpm during 90 to 360 min. Sintering was carried out at 1150°C during 10h. Powder size distribution was analyzed using CILAS equipment and chemically characterized by X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF). Microhardness was determined by means of a Vickers microhardness tester. Microstructure and phases were analyzed employing scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-Ray diffraction.
