Abstract
The invention is suitable for the manufacture of flat or shaped titanium matrix composite articles having improved mechanical properties such as lightweight plates and sheets for aircraft and automotive applications, heat-sinking lightweight electronic substrates, bulletproof structures for vests, partition walls and doors, as well as for sporting goods such as helmets, golf clubs, sole plates, crown plates, etc. A fully-dense discontinuously-reinforced titanium matrix composite (TMMC) material comprises (a) a matrix of titanium or titanium alloy as a major component, (b) ceramic and/or intermetallic hard particles dispersed in the matrix in the amount of ≦50 vol. %, and (c) complex carbide- and/or silicide particles at least partially soluble in the matrix at the sintering or forging temperatures such as TiCrC, TiSiC, CrC, TiAlC, TiAlC, AlC, AlSiC, AlSiC, AlSiC, VC, (Ti,V)C, VCrC, and VCrCdispersed in the matrix in the amount of ≦20 vol. %. The invention can be used to produce near-full density near-net shape parts from titanium matrix composite materials with acceptable mechanical properties without a hot deformation.
