In Situ Titanium Composites: XRD Study of Secondary Phases Tied to the Processing Conditions and Starting Materials
Description
Nowadays, the development of high specific modulus materials involves
studies of new materials and novel manufacturing routes. From the point of view
of composite materials, titanium composites (TMCs) have been long studied for
their interesting properties, as a result of the conjunction of low-density and high
mechanical properties, as well as corrosion resistance. Among various processing
techniques, the in situ reinforced method shows many advantages above the rest. The
reactions between matrix and reinforcement drive up the final properties of TMCs.
Varying the processing conditions, in addition to reinforcement type and content,
significant variations are expected in TMCs' behaviour. In this regard, the present
study draws on previous author works. The specimens studied were manufactured
by hot consolidation processes, inductive hot pressing (iHP) and direct hot pressing
(DHP), at different operational parameters and compositions. X-ray powder
diffraction (XRD) investigations tied formations of secondary phases to substantive
changes in TMC behaviour under the influence of the fabrication parameters.
