Abstract

Dense TiB/Ti composites were fabricated by Self-propagating High Temperature Synthesis connected with Pseudo Hot Isostatic Pressing (SHS/PHIP). Tads, Tc and combustion velocities of the TiB-x Ti system decrease with increasing the amount of Ti. The synthesized TiB-Ti cermets mainly consisted of TiB and Ti phases, but TiB2 phase existed in some products with lower content of metal. Needle-like, rod-like or plate-like TiB grains formed in the microstructure of synthesized TiB-x Ti composites. The size of the TiB grains decreased with an increasing amount of metal addition. The hardness and relative density of the synthesized materials are all beyond HRA82 and 94%, respectively. The introduction of Ti into TiB-x Ti cermets resulted in a drastic increase in the bending strength, tensile strength, compression strength, fracture toughness and the maximum values were obtained with the addition of 40 wt.%Ti.
