High specific strength of Ti-based alloys and composites makes them highly requested materials in various structural applications, especially when lightweight is desired in high-strength constructions. When these alloys are used in layered structures, far advanced set of characteristics that combine different mechanical properties often non-compatible in a single layer uniform structure can be attained; for instance, high hardness or moduli systems are usually lacking of sufficient toughness. Mechanical properties of individual layer in multilayered materials can be controlled by changing chemical composition and microstructure within each layer specifically. In present study layered materials were formed by combination of the layer of Ti-6Al-4V alloy and metal matrix composites on its base reinforced with fine TiB and TiC particles. Structures were fabricated using blended elemental powder metallurgy (BEPM). The effect of different post-sintering thermo-mechanical treatments on structure of layered BEPM materials was studied. Processing parameters were assessed in terms of their influence on materials’ porosity, grain size and structure, distribution of reinforcement particles and layers integration. The effect of above mentioned structural characteristics on hardness of layered materials was evaluated.

TiAl/Ti2AlC composites were successfully fabricated by hot-press-assisted reactive synthesis method from elemental powder mixtures of Ti, Al and C. The effect of C addition on the microstructures and mechanical properties of TiAl/Ti2AlC composites was investigated in detail. The results show that the Rockwell hardness, flexural strength and fracture toughness of the composites are modified by incorporation of in situ formed Ti2AlC. When the C content was 0.44 wt %, the flexural strength and the fracture toughness reach the maximum values of 658.7 MPa and 10.03 MPa•m1/2, respectively. The reinforcing mechanism was also discussed.

The mechanical properties of WC-Co are highly dependent on its cobalt content, density and grain size of the WC particles. Addition of free carbon during the consolidation of process is said to improve the densification process and inhibit grain growth. However, there are still plenty of works needs to be done regarding this matter to support the fact. Therefore, this study is to evaluate the effect of carbon addition on the physical and mechanical properties of WC-Co-C sintered powders. The WC-Co-C sample is fabricated using powder metallurgy technique, in which the powders were uniaxially pressed at 625 MPa and cold-isostatic pressed at 200 MPa. Then, the sample is sintered in nitrogen-based atmosphere at temperature range of 1350-1450C. The physical and mechanical properties of the WC-Co sintered powders were analysed. It is found that WC-Co-C has a relatively higher density and hardness but exhibit lower transverse rupture strength compared to WC-Co.

M3:2 high speed steels with and without carbon addition were prepared by using powder metallurgy at sintering temperature between 1210 and 1280 °C. Densification, microstructure and mechanical properties of M3:2 high speed steels were investigated. Experimental results show that with 0.4wt% carbon addition, full density high speed steels were obtained at temperatures in the range 1240-1260 °C which is 40 °C lower than that of the undoped counterparts, leading to a sintering window expanded by 10 to 20 °C. By the addition of 0.4wt% carbon, the sintered steels show attractive combinations of bend strength and hardness over those of M3:2 steels without carbon addition. The results reveal that the addition of carbon will not only lower the sintering temperature and oxygen content, but also improve the mechanical properties of the sintered steels.
