P/M Ti-Fe-Mo-Y alloys with different Rare-earth Y Content are prepared by blend element method, its sintering and hot deformation behaviors are studied together with microstructure and mechanical properties. The microstructures and properties of the alloying titanium were testified by the analysis of Optical microscopy (OM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM).The result indicated that Y element absorbs free oxygen and purify the Ti powder surface, promoting densification process. With appropriate vacuum and temperature, the blend element metal powder sintering relative density can reach more than 97%. Microstructure and mechanical properties analysis shown that Y element composed Y2O3 particles which refine grains and improve plasticity, elevate alloy distortion ability. After hot deformation, grains crashed and flow line appears, the mechanical properties of Ti-Fe-Mo-Y alloy prompted which also validated by large amount of dimples appear in tensile fracture surface.
