Abstract

AbstractLaminated sheets with Ti2AlC/TiAl composite layers synthesized from the Ti–Al–TiC system and TC4 titanium alloy as the toughening layer were fabricated by spark plasma sintering. Their phase composition and microstructure were analyzed and flexural strength and fracture toughness measured. The composite layers mainly comprised Ti2AlC, TiC, TiAl, and Ti3Al phases. The flexural strength and fracture toughness of the sheets perpendicular to the laminated direction were 455.74 MPa and 21.65 MPa · m1/2, respectively. The TC4 layers provided a strengthening–toughening effect by changing the crack propagation model and weakening the fracture energy. Ti2AlC particles provided a strengthening effect. The synergistic effect of the two components enhanced the mechanical properties of these TiAl-based laminated composite sheets.
