Sintering Behaviour and Properties of Titanium Metal Matrix Composites

The attractive physical and mechanical properties that can be obtained with Titanium Metal Matrix Composites (Ti-MMCs), such as high specific modulus, strength or wear resistance have been documented extensively. Interest in MMCs for use in the automotive industries, aerospace, and other structural applications, has increased over the past 25 years as a result of develop of several processing routes and availability of reinforcements. Additionally, Titanium powder metallurgy (P/M) offers the possibility of creating net shape or near net shape parts without the material loss and cost associated with having to machine intricate components from wrought billet. This work is the research of Ti and its alloys as metal matrix reinforced by different particles (e.g. TiB2) or fibers (carbon nanofibers) at different reinforcement level, in order to achieve desired levels of mechanical properties.
