Particulate reinforced titanium composites were produced by PM route. Different
volumetric percentages of TiN reinforcements were used, 5,10,15 vol%. Samples were uniaxially
pressed and vacuum sintered at different temperatures between 1200-1300°C. Density, porosity,
shrinkage, mechanical properties and microstructure were studied. Elastic properties and strength
resistance were analysed by flexural strength and tension tests, and after the test, fractured samples
were analysed as well to obtain the correlation between the fracture, interparticular or
intraparticular, and the level of reinforcement addition. Hardness and microhardness test were done
to obtain a better understanding of its mechanical properties. In order to study wear resistance pinon-
disc tests were conducted. In addition, the influence of temperature, the reactivity between
matrix and reinforcement on microstructural development were observed by optical and electron
microscopy.
