Abstract

SiC particle-reinforced Ti/Al/Ti clad plates were successfully fabricated by the powder-in-tube method. The surface micrography, element diffusion, peeling strength and tensile property of clad plates were studied after annealing and cold rolling. The experimental results show that 6 wt.% is optimal. The presence of SiC particles has been seen to significantly enhance the diffusion of Ti and Al elements. Additionally, it has been observed that the diffusion width of the intermetallic compound (IMC) increases as the size of SiC particles grows. However, it is worth noting that the average of Ti/Al-SiC/Ti clad plates initially increases and subsequently falls. The optimized diffusion thickness of the Ti/Al-SiC/Ti clad plate's IMC layer determined via the powder-in-tube method is approximately 4.5 μm. The 1 μm SiC-reinforced Ti/Al/Ti clad plate can obtain the best mechanical properties after annealing at 500 °C and further hot rolling, and the peeling strength, ultimate tensile strength and elongation are 31.5 N/mm, 305 MPa and 26%, respectively. The efficacy of Ti/Al-SiC/Ti clad plates in delivering exceptional performance is substantiated by the analysis of peeling surfaces, peeling tests and tensile testing, which collectively demonstrate the presence of compact and homogenous intermetallic compounds.
