Titanium based alloys offer significant opportunities for weight reduction in aerospace design and more recently it has been considered that particle reiriforced titanium based composites will provide the most practical solutions in this field. In the present paper it is identified that it is possible to produce an in situ TiC- composite via a blended elemental reaction powder metallurgical route. The effect of process parameters on the microstructure and on the presence of possible contaminants and undesirable phases is also examined.MST/3417
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
