High Temperature Mechanical Behavior of SiCf/Ti–Al Composites
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 January 1992
Abstract
Titanium aluminide was reinforced by AVCO SCS–6 continuous SiC fibers in unidirectional or 0°/+45°/–45° direction to make SiCf/Ti–A1 composites through hot-pressing of Ti and A1 powder mixture. The toughness of the composites is greatly improved at room temperature. The typical tensile elongation is over 0.8%. The room temperature strength of the composite can be sustained up to about 700°C. The processes developed in this study have two merits: (1) Ti and A1 powders instead of Ti–A1 powder can be directly used as raw materials, and (2) the mechanical properties of composites can be tailored in a similar fashion as those of conventional composites.
