Abstract
The in situ TiB particle reinforced titanium metal matrix composites were prepared using MA followed by park plasma sintering (SPS) with a heating rate of 50 °C/min. The in situ TiB were synthesized by chemical reaction between TiB2 and Ti during the SPS process. The microstructure of the composites sintered at 800, 1000 and 1200 °C were investigated. TiB whiskers are needle-shape and uniformly dispersed in the titanium matrix. The interface between the in situ TiB needles and the titanium matrix is singular and faceted. The composite sintered at 1000 °C has a maximum value of relative density of 99.6%, and good mechanical properties with a flexural strength of 1007 MPa, Young's modulus of 146 GPa and fracture toughness of 8.64 MPa·m 1/2, respectively. The fractographs of all composites exhibit a predominantly brittle cleavage fracture mechanism. The elastic modulus of synthesized TiB was estimated.
