Abstract
High temperature titanium matrix composites (TMCs) with different volume fraction of reinforcements were in situ synthesized by casting and hot forging. An effort was made to investigate the mechanical properties as a function of the microstructure of composites. Tensile tests were performed at room temperature, 600 °C, 650 °C and 700 °C respectively. Creep behavior at 650 °C was characterized in the stress range of 200–300 MPa. Results indicated that the composite with 2.11 vol.% reinforcements had the highest tensile strength and lowest steady state creep rate. Morphology of TiB whiskers was critical to mechanical properties of TMCs. TiB whiskers fracture and debonding acted as the dominant failure modes.
