The present work is focused on the fabrication and the investigation of microstructures of copperbased TiC nanocomposites produced by mechanical milling in a high energy planetary ball mill. TiH2, carbon and copper powders were used as starting materials in which In-Situ reaction between carbon and TiH2 occurs to form TiC nanoparticles. The mixture powders of Cu–TiH2–C were milled for 12 h at 450 rpm in Argon gas. Annealing treatment process at 950 °C for 2 h was applied for as-milled composite powders to enhance In-Situ reaction. The consolidation of composite powders was conducted by spark plasma sintering under uniaxial pressing of 70 MPa. Sintering procedure was done at 950 and 1000 °C for 5 min. The results indicated that as TiC nanoparticles are formed after sintering at 950 °C and the TiC particles are increased up at higher sintering temperature of 1000 °C. Fracture surface of sintered samples shows ductile mode. HR-TEM image showed the crystal size of copper was about 10 nm for sample sintered at 1000 °C. The hardness and relative density of the nanocomposites increase when increasing sintering temperature.

The in situ TiB whisker reinforced titanium matrix composites were prepared by mechanical alloying followed by spark plasma sintering. X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy were used to characterize the microstructure of the TiB whiskers. The effect of sintering temperature on morphologies of in situ TiB whiskers was evaluated. With the increase of spark plasma sintering temperature, the average diameter of in situ TiB whiskers increased. The in situ TiB whiskers exhibited a hexagonal shape with (100), (101) and (10 1 ) planes at the transverse section and a growth orientation of [010]TiB direction.

Dense Nb/Nb5Si3composites were fabricated via spark plasma sintering technology using Nb, Si, and Al elemental powders as raw materials. The microstructures of the synthesised composites were analysed through scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and electron probe microanalysis. The results show that the composites consisted of residual Nb particle phase and Nb5Si3phase. The microstructure of the Nb/ Nb5Si3in situ composites was evidently affected by Al addition, which prompted the formation of the Al3Nb10Si3phase. The oxidation resistance of the Nb/Nb5Si3in situ composites significantly improved with the increase in Al addition. Pesting oxidation behaviour was exhibited at 800°C by the Nb-20Si composites when exposed to air for 4h. This pest oxidation behaviour is not exhibited by the Nb-20Si-10Al and Nb-20Si-15Al composites after exposure to air for ~10h. The composite exhibits the best oxidation resistance at 15at% Al.

In situ synthesized TiB reinforced titanium matrix composites of Ti-B and Ti-TiB2 systems have been prepared by spark plasma sintering at 800-1200 °C under 20 MPa for 5 min. The effects of sintering temperature and reinforcement volume fraction on flexural strength, Young’s modulus and fracture toughness of the composites were investigated. The in situ synthesized TiB reinforcements are randomly and uniformly distributed in titanium matrix. The TiB whiskers are aligned along [010] direction, and the crystallographic planes of the TiB needles are always of the type (100), (101) and (10 1) . The parallel TiB were observed in β-Ti grains in both of the investigated composites. The in situ TiB needle is likely to grow along [010] direction which is parallel to [111] direction of cubic lattice of β-Ti phase.

This paper introduces a new spark plasma sintering technique that is able to order crystalline anisotropy by in-series/in situ DC electric coupled magnetic field. The process control parameters have been investigated on the production of anisotropic BaFe12O19 magnets based on resulted remanence (Mr). Sintering holding time (H.T.), cooling rate (C.R.), pressure (P), and sintering temperature (S.T.) are optimized by Taguchi with L9 orthogonal array (OA). The remanent magnetization of nanocrystalline BaFe12O19 in parallel (Mrǁ) and perpendicular (MrꞱ) to the applied magnetic field was regarded as a measure of performance. The Taguchi study calculated optimum process parameters, which significantly improved the sintering process based on the confirmation tests of BaFe12O19 anisotropy. The magnetic properties in terms of Mrǁ and MrꞱ were greatly affected by sintering temperature and pressure according to ANOVA results. In addition, regression models were developed for predicting the Mrǁ as well as MrꞱ respectively.
