Preparation of titanium diboride reinforced copper matrix composites with high conductivity and mechanical strength was developed based on in situ produced powders. The effect of the titanium diboride content on the mechanical properties of the bulk material produced from the powders by Spark Plasma Sintering technique was studied. Increasing titanium diboride content from 2.5 up to 7.5 wt.% resulted in a 1.5-fold increase in yield strength, tensile strength and hardness and 5-fold increase in wear resistance with only 10% decrease in conductivity.

In situ devitrification and consolidation of gas atomized Al87Ni8La5 glassy powders into highly dense bulk specimens was carried out by spark plasma sintering. Room temperature compression tests of the consolidated bulk material reveal remarkable mechanical properties, namely, high compression strength of 930 MPa combined with plastic strain exceeding 25%. These findings demonstrate that the combined devitrification and consolidation of glassy precursors by spark plasma sintering is a suitable method for the production of Al-based materials characterized by high strength and considerable plastic deformation.

The in-situ synthesized TiB reinforced titanium matrix composites have been prepared by spark plasma sintering technique at 950–1250°C, using mixtures of 10wt% TiB2 and 90wt% Ti powders. The effects of the sintering temperature on the mechanical properties (Vickers microhardness, yield strength and Young`s modulus) of the composites were investigated. SEM was used to analyze the reaction process and the microstructure of the compacts synthesized at different sintering temperatures. The results indicated that the in situ synthesized TiB grow rapidly with increasing sintering temperature. The composite sintered at 1250°C have the highest relative density of 99.2%. However, the composite sintered at 950°C exhibits the best Vickers microhardness of 4.64GPa and yield strength of 989MPa, respectively.
