Determination of Warm Working Temperature Range for In Situ Alm–TiB2p Composite

Abstract

Composites with hard undeformable particles are better suited for creep resistant applications. Al m -TiB 2 particulate composite is one such composite. Its flow properties and formability are investigated and presented in the paper. A suitable temperature range for working this particulate composite is ascertained by using uniaxial axysymmetric compression tests and ring compression tests. Warm working is found to be suitable for this composite in the temperature window of 473-523 K.
