Abstract: Disclosed herein is a process that includes: (a) forming a powder blend by mixing Commercially Pure (C.P.) titanium powder, one or more hydrogenated titanium powders containing around 3.4 to around 3.9 weight % of hydrogen (e.g., hydrogenated titanium powders available or referred to nominally as “titanium hydride” or TiH2), and one or more hydrogenated titanium powders containing around 0.2 to around 3.4 weight % of hydrogen, or a mixture of the hydrogenated titanium powders without the C.P. titanium powder, (b) consolidating the powder blend by either compacting the powder blend using die pressing, direct powder rolling, cold isostatic pressing, impulse pressing, metal injection molding, other room temperature consolidation method, or combination thereof, at a pressure in the range of around 400 to around 960 MPa, or loose sintering, to provide a green compact having a density lower than that of a green compact formed from only C.P.
