Abstract

In the present study, Ti-6Al-2.5Sn-4Zr-0.7Mo-0.3Si-0.3Y alloy matrix composites reinforced with TiB and TiC were fabricated by combustion-assisted cast utilizing the reaction between titanium and B4C, graphite. The microstructure, room temperature mechanical properties were presented and discussed. Microstructural analysis of the composites revealed that the prior β grain size as well as the thickness of α colony significantly refined with increasing of volume fraction. At room temperature (RT), tensile strength and elastic modulus increase significantly, while the ductility drops gradually possibly because of the cracking of TiB whiskers and TiC particles.
