Abstract
TiB whisker (TiBw) and nitrogen (N) solid‐solution synergistic‐strengthened titanium matrix composites (TMCs) are prepared by in situ reaction of Ti–BN system via spark plasma sintering (SPS) and hot extrusion. The effects of the in situ‐synthesized TiBw and N solid solution on the microstructure and mechanical properties of TMCs are studied. Results show that TiBw is broken into several short fragments and distributed parallel to the extrusion direction after hot extrusion, whereas N atoms are all dissolved into the Ti matrix. The BN additive dispersion method and hot extrusion process can greatly eliminate TiBw aggregates and reduce the mean size of TiBw. Tensile test results reveal that the Ti with only 0.4 wt.% BN exhibits an exceptional ultimate tensile strength of 879 MPa and 16.6% elongation at room temperature. On this basis, the main strengthening mechanism of TiBw reinforcement and N solid solution at room and high temperature are studied based on the Hall–Petch equation, load transfer mechanism, and Labusch model.
