Abstract
The microstructure and mechanical characteristics of commercially pure titanium, i.e., the VT1-0 alloy, modified by 1.5 wt % B have been studied. It has been found that, during the melting of an ingot, uniformly distributed titanium monoboride (TiB) fibers up to O5 × 150 μm in size appear in the material in a volume fraction of about 8%. The results of compressive and tensile tests show that this composite material substantially surpasses pure titanium in the strength characteristics, with retaining satisfactory plasticity.
