From page 207...
... In contrast to the free-flowing microspheres required for the precision molding process, the du Pont direct powder rolling process requires dendritically shaped particles that interlock. The green sheet was coiled and sintered of f line in a continuous, inert gas, Wintering furnace.
From page 208...
... Du Pont never test marketed these metal products because there was one flaw that, in du Pont's judgment, would make their product noncompetitive with melted and wrought products. The titanium and titanium alloy mill products produced from powders contained very small quantities of chlorides trapped within the microstructure.
