This review explores sintering additives' vital role in near-alpha titanium alloy production from commercially pure titanium, meeting demand for lightweight, high-strength materials. It emphasizes understanding the nuanced relationship between additives to optimize microstructures and enhance alloy performance. Beginning with the significance of near-alpha titanium alloys, it discusses the properties of commercially pure titanium and its limitations in high-performance applications. The review details the sintering process's crucial role, including its impact on resulting properties. Additionally, it examines various sintering additives, their roles in alloying, and their effects on microstructure and mechanical properties. Discussions on challenges, trends, future prospects, and existing literature augment the analysis.
