Titanium aluminide composite reinforced with submicron Al2O3 has been prepared by a reactive hot press method using TiO2, Al and Ti powder as source materials. The reaction synthesis processing is particularly investigated. Results show that the matrix of the as-prepared material is a mixture of TiAl and a small amount of Ti3Al. Fine Al2O3 particles that act as reinforcing phase are dispersed along the interface of the matrix. The reduction of TiO2 involves many transitional stages, including Ti-Al reaction, TiO2-Ti reducing reaction, reaction between TiO2 and Al, etc.

Titanium aluminide composite reinforced with in situ formed submicron Al2O3 has been prepared by a reactive hot press method using Cr2O3, Al and Ti powder as starting materials. The reaction synthesis processing is particularly investigated. Results show that the matrix of the as-prepared material is a mixture of TiAl and a small amount of Ti3Al and Cr containing phase. Fine Al2O3 particles that act as reinforcing phase are dispersed along the interface of the matrix. The formation of TiAl/Al2O3 composite involves many transitional stages. Firstly, TiAl3 and Ti3Al intermediates were produced, then reducing reaction of Cr2O3 by Al formed Al2O3, and finally, the competitive solid-state diffusing reactions among Ti3Al, TiAl and TiAl3 produced the matrix phases of the TiAl/Al2O3 composite.

Titanium aluminide intermetallic was made through reaction synthesis (RS) process using elemental powders. Pressure assisted synthesis was carried out at high temperature under vacuum. Ti powder with two different particle sizes (200μm and 30μm average) were used in RS. Synthesized blocks were homogenized and characterized for chemical homogeneity, density, phase formation and microstructure evolution. Products near to theoretical density have been obtained with uniform chemistry after homogenization. Al3Ti as a major phase along with TiAl as minor phase was confirmed after RS and TiAl along with Ti3Al was observed after homogenization. Homogenization cycle was found to be different for the alloys made through different Ti particle sizes. Significant role of Ti particle size has been observed in this pressure assisted RS process.

Full dense and highly pure TiAl/Ti2AlC in situ composites were successfully synthesized by reactive synthesis from the powder mixtures of Ti, Al and carbon black by hot-press-assisted reaction process. The reaction process, microstructure and bending strength of the TiAl/Ti2AlC in situ composites were investigated in detail. The results show that the as fabricated composites posses three phases, namely, TiAl, Ti3Al and Ti2AlC. The matrix phases are mainly equiaxed TiAl with a minor lamellar Ti3Al phase. Ti2AlC particles with size less than 1 μm are distributed uniformly in matrix grains as a reinforcing phase. When C content is 0.44 wt %, the flexural strength reaches 426.21 MPa, which is increased by 35 %.

TiAl/Ti5Si3 in situ composites were successfully fabricated by reactive hot-press method from powder mixtures of Ti, Al and Si. The influence of the Si addition on the microstructures and mechanical properties of TiAl/Ti5Si3 composites was investigated in detail. The results show that an appropriate amount of addition of Si refined the matrix structure obviously due to the in situ formed Ti5Si3, and as a result, the flexural strength and fracture toughness of the composites are modified. When the Si content is 1.82 wt %, the flexural strength and the fracture toughness reach the maximum value of 685.67 MPa and 9.02 MPa·m1/2, respectively. The enhancing mechanism was also discussed.

Shape memory alloy (SMA) has been used to improve the tensile strength of composite materials. Because it produces compressive residual stress in the matrix by using its shape memory effect. In order to fabricate a shape memory alloy composite, TiNi alloy and Al2024, Al6061 were used as reinforcing material and matrix, respectively. In this study, TiNi/Al2024 and TiNi/Al6061 shape memory alloy composites were made by the hot press method. The fatigue limit of a shape memory alloy composite determined the volume ratio and reduction ratio. The probabilistic stresslife curve (P-S-N curve) about the shape memory alloy composite makes up using statistical method.

The PVDF/ZnO composites were prepared by a simple hot-press method. The dielectric behavior of the composites was improved at a lower percolation threshold. For the composites with a filler content of 10 wt%, the reflection loss appears as two peaks that can reach −15.90 dB at 6.60 GHz and −25.44 dB at 16.48 GHz.

Tungsten (W) based alloy composite layer reinforced with TiC particles has been successfully prepared on unalloyed steel sample by LMI technology. In order to obtain in situ produced TiC reinforcement, pure titanium has been introduced to the melt pool. WC powder was added for increasing the carbon content of the layer in order to avoid the softening of the matrix (with low carbon content) during TiC formation. The present study aims to investigate the optimum amount of injected WC and Ti powder to improve wear resistance and hardness of the layer. Samples were investigated using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The maximum hardness of the layer has been reached ~900HV in case of 2-4wt% of titanium content. Ti has been collected all of the carbon from the matrix when titanium content was 9,6wt%, which resulted that the austenite and (Fe,W)6C phases have been disappeared. Only α-Fe and TiC phases were presented in the layer. The hardness of the layer reduced to the hardness of the base material.
