Abstract

Titanium matrix composites (TMCs) are widely used for their excellent properties. This paper explores fabricating (2.5vol.%TiB + 2.5vol.%TiC)/Ti6Al4V composites under varying hydrogen concentrations in a hydrogen-argon mixed atmosphere, analyzing the microstructure through optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy with electron backscattered diffraction patterns. The results show that hydrogen leads to microstructure refinement in the matrix, increases β phase content, and modifies reinforcing phase distribution. Three-point bend tests reveal improved room temperature fracture toughness when hydrogen gets incorporated.
