Abstract
A processing technique for the fabrication of layered metal-intermetallic composites is presented, in which a self-propagating, high-temperature synthesis reaction (SHS) was initiated at the interface between dissimilar elemental metal foils. The resultant composite microstructure consisted of a fully dense, well-bonded metal-intermetallic layered composite. In this United States Bureau of Mines study, metal (Fe, Ni, or Ti) foils were reacted with Al foils to produce metal-metal aluminide layered composites. Tensile tests conducted at room temperature revealed that composites could be designed to behave in a high-strength and high-toughness manner by altering the thicknesses of the starting elemental foils. Failure characteristics revealed that the processes that govern ductilevs brittle behavior of the composites occur early in the fracture.
