Abstract

Ti-50Al alloy and Ti-47Al-3W alloy and its composites have been prepared by reactive arc melting technique using elemental powders. Composites have been reinforced using 3.5, 10 and 18 vol% of Ti2AlC in the matrix of TiAl with and without addition of W and C. By the addition of tungsten and carbon to TiAl alloy, we have produced composites that are reinforced randomly by reacted rod like Ti2AlC particles with fine precipitate of Ti2AlC particles and B2 particles. Compared to Ti-50Al alloys, the Ti-47Al-3W alloy and its composites have superior mechanical properties like bending strength, hardness, fracture toughness and erosion. Ti-47Al-3W/3.5 vol% Ti2AlC has excellent erosion resistance because of the dispersion of fine Ti2AlC and B2 particles in the matrix.
