Abstract

(TiB 2+TiC)/Ni 3Al composites were prepared by mechanical alloying of elemental powders and subsequently spark plasma sintering. Microstructure of (TiB 2+TiC)/Ni 3Al composite sintered at 950°C was finer than that of composite sintered at 1050°C. The influence of grain size on cyclic oxidation behavior was investigated. Cyclic oxidation results showed that the composite sintered at 950°C had smaller mass gains than the composite sintered at 1050°C. XRD and EDS results indicate that finer grain size is beneficial for increasing the oxidation resistance by improving the formation of a continuous TiO 2 outer layer and a continuous Al 2O 3 inner layer on the surface of the composites sintered at 950°C.
