Abstract. Through Diffusion Bonding (DB) large surfaces can be joined with low distortions and localized microstructural changes. Heterogeneous Titanium (Ti) components, composed, for example, by a porous layer over a bulk one, which play a key role for biomedical applications, can be obtained. In the present work, the possibility to combine the SuperPlastic Forming (SPF) process (for creating the part’s shape) and the DB process (for joining two different layers) is investigated. In particular, the porous layer was obtained by solid state foaming, made possible thanks to a heat treatment set on a slice cut from a billet produced by compacting Ti powders via Hot Isostatic Pressing (HIP). SPF was used to shape both the Ti sheet and the slice cut from the HIPed billet. Since the SPF is conducted at high temperature, a porous structure could be obtained in the HIPed material (solid state foaming occurred); setting the proper pressure and time, the two layers could be successfully joined by DB. All the investigated pressure levels revealed to be able to produce a complete solid state joint, without any discontinuity; in addition, the final hybrid component could be manufactured according to the desired geometry.
