Tensile behavior of TiB-reinforced Ti matrix composites with different titanium powders

Although titanium alloys are known to possess low density, high specific strength, and excellent corrosion resistance, their low specific stiffness and wear resistance have restricted their widespread application. Cost-effective discontinuously reinforced titanium and its alloys containing titanium...

description Although titanium alloys are known to possess low density, high specific strength, and excellent corrosion resistance, their low specific stiffness and wear resistance have restricted their widespread application.

The mechanical properties of titanium matrix composites (TMC) are mainly dependent on the matrix composition, and on the volume fraction, and distribution of reinforcements. The distribution of reinforcements in the matrix depends on the particle shape and size of the Ti matrix powder.
