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 %.

Microstructures And Mechanical Properties

Al2O3/TiAl composites were successfully fabricated from powder mixtures of Ti, Al, TiO2, Cr2O3 and Nb2O5 by a hot-press-assisted exothermic dispersion method. The effect of the Cr2O3 and Nb2O5 addition on the microstructures and mechanical properties of Al2O3/TiAl composites was characterized. The results showed that the specimens are mainly composed of TiAl, Ti3Al, Al2O3, NbAl3 and Cr2Al. The Vicker-hardness and density of Al2O3/TiAl composites increase gradually with the increase of Nb2O5 content. When the Nb2O5 content was 6.54 wt %, the flexural strength and fracture toughness of the composites have a maximum values of 789.79 MPa and 9.69 MPa?m1/2, respectively. The improvement of mechanical properties is discussed in detail.

Al2O3/NiAl composites were successfully fabricated by hot-press-assisted exothermic dispersion method with elemental powder mixtures of Ni, Al, NiO. The content of Al2O3 on the microstructures and mechanical properties of Al2O3/NiAl composites has been characterized. The results show that the Vickers hardness, flexural strength and fracture toughness of the composites increase with increasing Al2O3 content. When the Al2O3 content is 15 wt %, the flexural strength and the fracture toughness peaked at 765 MPa and 9.67 MPa•m 1/2, respectively. The improvement of mechanical properties is associated with a more homogeneous and finer microstructure developed by addition of Al2O3.

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.

Particulate Reinforced

Using Ti, Al and Cr2O3 as starting materials, Al2O3 particulate reinforced TiAl composites have been fabricated by in-situ reaction synthesis method. Effects of the Cr2O3 addition on the microstructures and mechanical properties of the TiAl/Al2O3 composites were investigated in detail. The results show that the composites have a matrix of TiAl, Ti3Al, and minor Cr containing phases, and a second reinforcement Al2O3. The addition of Cr2O3 effectively refined the structure of the matrix, and as a result, the mechanical properties of TiAl composites are improved. At Cr2O3 7.36 wt%, the flexural strength and fracture toughness reach the maximum values of 634.62 MPa and 9.79 MPa·m1/2, which are increased by 80% and 30%, respectively. The strengthening mechanism is also discussed.
