Particulate Reinforced

Particulate reinforced titanium composites were produced by PM route. Different volumetric percentages of TiN reinforcements were used, 5,10,15 vol%. Samples were uniaxially pressed and vacuum sintered at different temperatures between 1200-1300°C. Density, porosity, shrinkage, mechanical properties and microstructure were studied. Elastic properties and strength resistance were analysed by flexural strength and tension tests, and after the test, fractured samples were analysed as well to obtain the correlation between the fracture, interparticular or intraparticular, and the level of reinforcement addition. Hardness and microhardness test were done to obtain a better understanding of its mechanical properties. In order to study wear resistance pinon- disc tests were conducted. In addition, the influence of temperature, the reactivity between matrix and reinforcement on microstructural development were observed by optical and electron microscopy.

The aim of this study is to evaluated the possibility of the in-situ synthesized (TiC+TiB) reinforced titanium matrix composites (TMCs) for the application of structural materials. In-situ synthesis and casting of TMCs were carried out in a vacuum induction melting furnace with Ti and B4C. The synthesized TMCs were characterized using scanning electron microscopy, an electron probe micro-analyzer and transmission electron microscopy, and evaluated through thermodynamic calculations. The spherical TiC plus needle-like and large, many-angled facet TiB reinforced TMCs can be synthesized with Ti and B4C by a melting route.
