Development of precipitation strengthened brass with Ti and Sn alloying elements additives by using water atomized powder via powder metallurgy route

► Alloying elements Ti and Sn are proposed as additives in 60/40 brass. ► Super-saturated Ti in powder creates high chemical potential for precipitation. ► CuSn3Ti5 precipitates demonstrated significant grain refinement. ► Ti and Sn showed remarkable strengthening effect.
